<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, all –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your Clover Park colleagues are wondering if any of you may have some advice about a special challenge that comes with laptop lending…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do you deal with odors that linger – on laptops themselves, on bags, and even on power cords and perhaps other peripherals?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Have you had any success with various forms of odor-removal? E.g., computer-safe cleaning methods and/or cleansers for bags and such? Activated charcoal? Ozone generators? Other
handy tools/methods?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Do you charge your students for heavy odors that linger? Or do you just eat the cost of, say, replacing a certain number of bags every quarter?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In our laptop lending policy, we include strong odors of smoke among the kinds of damage for which students may be charged, because smoke can cause harm to the devices. But there are plenty of other scents that linger – perfumes, cooking
smells, pet odors, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This can be a subjective experience and a sensitive thing to address, and we very much want to err on the side of grace, so we haven’t yet formally addressed this with a student.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But it’s a thing. And perhaps you experience this thing, too? Any wisdom from the collective is welcome and appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
