Cleaning your POS systems Our current recommendations for cleaning POS systems as below, you can choose from one of the cleaners and spray it onto a cleaning cloth or towel. Then, genteelly wipe the surface to be cleaned.

If you want to “further-clean”, you may consider getting a handheld UVC product for a specific area and safe UVC cleaning (after surfaces have been wiped down). After cleaning your POS systems If you are using 75% alcohol or similar, it should only take a few seconds to dry out. Others, please wait for the unit to dry before switching the system back on. (If an area gets too wet, you can wipe it with a paper towel or a dry cloth.) Other than standard POS hardware, Penetek also offers the choice of antibacterial touch screen with antibacterial coating on POS hardware.
