Objectively speaking, your tablet is probably pretty grim. A study by Northeastern University in Boston found that workplace iPads contained bacteria from skin and faeces, including pathogens such as MRSA, VRE, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Imagine all the touchscreens in public use, such as in cinemas or doctor's check-ins, then you go home and play or work on a tablet which likely gets passed around your whole family. Although the global health crisis means excellent hygiene is more important than ever, cleaning your tablet computer is something you should be doing anyway.
