Cleaning Cisco IP Phones 8851

[Timothy.Mitchell]

I work for a company that has just started to deploy the 8851 series Cisco IP Phones. A lost of these phones get shared and as such people have been using sanitation wipes to clean them and stop themselves from getting colds. the issue that we have been running into is because people are doing this they are causing the buttons on the phones to become stiff and cause them to stick. Is there an approved way of cleaning these phones or a certain wipe that we need to purchase?

One possible approach that i have used in various surgical areas with the 8851 are third party covers. ZCover just released a cover for the 88xx line of phones which is cleanable.

Short of that, the phones by themselves are not great when it comes to cleaning them..
