We looked into some studies related to headsets and office hygiene to give you an idea of why cleaning your headsets between uses makes sense.
Microbiologist, Dr Charles Gerba conducted a study and analysed 7,000 samples from offices, the study found that the most contaminated areas were phones, desks and computer keyboards. Surprisingly, toilet seats consistently had the lowest bacteria levels. reading those findings from the study, makes you wonder what germs used headsets may be carrying?
We've put together a few suggestions on keeping your headset in a clean and good condition:

Stock up on alcohol-free sanitising wipes. its good practice wiping your VR headset over after every use.
Recommend users sanitise their hands before and after using the VR headset to prevent contamination.
