[CAUT] Disinfecting Keys

[Ronald E Engle]

I have used band aids, CA glue, and copious amounts of water. (Just made
me have to go to the bath room more!)  Finally hit on the hand cream
solution.  I carry a small container of noxzema in my pocket and apply it
several times a day.  It needs to be reapplied if I wash my hands.   It
is not greasy and really works.
