When it comes to keeping our home and work areas germ free, many of us think just hand washing and wiping down areas is enough.

But what about when we travel outside our homes or have to share remote "work" space and technology?

At those times, having a Targus tech product made with DefenseGuard™ Antimicrobial Protection protects you from unwanted germs for the moment, and then keeps protecting surfaces clean by preventing the growth of microorganisms.

Unlike topically applied sprays, Targus DefenseGuard™ Antimicrobial Protection™ products are treated with an antimicrobial additive that does not wear off and lasts for the life of the product.

Who doesn't want immediate PLUS ongoing protection against germs?!

Since the antimicrobial range includes tablet cases, mice, and keyboards, it's easy to keep our working and living environment as clean as possible, particularly as we travel between home and the office.

Did you know that Targus has lots of DefenseGuard™ options to help you work, play and keep safe? Here a few I think would be perfect for keep techie families healthy.
