History
KeyBoard Cleanse was created in the summer of 2016 by a team of young
entrepreneurs. One day when typing a report needed for class they realized their
keyboard was in need of a deep cleaning. They remembered an old chemistry
experiment where they created goo using glue, borax, water, and food coloring and
decide to use it as a device for cleaning their keyboard. Thus the KeyBoard Cleanse
was created.

Mission Statement
Keyboard Cleanse is a creative and youthful company that believes that a keyboard,
which is constantly bombarded with germs and viruses from our fingers, should be
properly cleaned and disinfected. Our goal is to be the recognized brand for office and
school supplies all while revolutionizing appliance cleaning. Our slogan is Well
handle the mess, so you can stress less.

Purpose of Handbook
The purpose of the handbook is to inform our employees of our company KeyBoard
Cleanse. With the handbook we provide a guide of our history, policies, and
regulations to our employees. We want our employees to be informed to respect each
other and respect office equipment usage. That if anybody is caught failing are
expectations they can expect consequences.
