Cleaning is an essential part of maintaining a quality working environment for both your staff and your computer equipment, and at Prospero we understand that getting a cleaner you can rely on can be difficult.
We have 2 separate teams with individual skills, but both our datacentre cleaning technicians and office cleaning operatives are properly trained in the relevant cleaning standards and appropriate techniques and that they will be working in accordance with.
It is widely documented that dusty environments are far from ideal for operating computer equipment, with research showing that up to 70% of all hardware malfunctions can be attributed to poor cleanliness or cleaning procedures.
As part of our datacentre cleaning service we offer a range of services to help keep your facility on top of these essential cleaning requirements, including:
Your datacentre floor has been specially designed to conduct any amount of static electricity away from your equipment. A build up of dust or poor cleaning practice can seriously affect the conductivity of this important feature.
Our monthly cleaning process will safely remove any build up of dust on equipment housing and floor surfaces, and our cleaning chemicals have been specially developed to maintain the anti-static properties of your facility.
Although a monthly cleaning schedule will minimise the build-up of contamination within crucial areas of your facility, an annual deep-clean is required to completely de-contaminate the area, including the sub-floor zone.
The sub-floor zone delivers cool, filtered air to the sensitive equipment above. Unfortunately, because of gravity, this is also the area most prone to a build-up of dirt and dust. If allowed to accumulate this dust will be swept up in the circulating air and can lead to systematic system failure, an increased risk of fire or accidental fire suppressant discharge.
The high traffic areas of your facility can often become scuffed and dull as time moves on, and as these areas are part of the raised floor system in most facilities, this can affect its anti-static effects.
As part of our service we will re-apply layers of anti-static finish to the raised-floor tiles, removing any previous layers if it appears there is a build up.
The standards laid out in ISO 14644-1 provide a viable way to achieve and record a quantitative measurement of air cleanliness.
By adhering to these standards a facility can see improvements in business interest from companies looking for a reliable facility to select as their host, and even reduced insurance charges. Our data centre technicians are properly trained in the collection and interpretation of datacentre monitoring results.
They are able to test and provide reports on:
An airborne particle count is a quantitative measurement of the cleanliness on your hosting rooms, and gives a value of contaminants that are currently a risk to your equipment.
Our technicians will provide you with a detailed report that will prove your compliance with ISO 14644-1
Fluctuations or extremes in temperature and relative humidity can affect the functionality of computer equipment, and in extreme cases cause it to fail completely.
By monitoring these conditions you can ensure that you air handling plant is functioning efficiently.
The differential pressure within your controlled environments is crucial to the efficient distribution of cool and hot air around your equipment.
Monitoring these conditions can highlight any potential problems.
The velocity of cooled and heated air travelling around you datacentre should be operating at optimal levels which allow enough airflow for sufficient cooling of server equipment, without agitating any particles which have settled. Monitoring these conditions can identify if air handling units are set up incorrectly or any development of potential problems.
Our office cleaners have extensive experience of cleaning for ‘high profile’ clients, and are fully versed in BICSc cleaning standards.
This combination of experience and training has afforded them valuable knowledge, from which they have developed a unique professionalism in their work, and in combination with our datacentre technicians, are able to offer you a complete office cleaning service.
It is widely documented that workplace cleanliness is a major contributor to staff morale.
Our nightly cleaning service will ensure that your office facilities are kept sparkling clean, and can be tailored to suit your needs. We will even wash and put away cutlery and crockery, or wash and replace hand and dish towels if that is what you need!
Although we do our best to be as thorough as we can each night, there are still those places that are not feasible to do daily.
For this reason we offer an occasional deep-clean service which will include cleaning of insides of cupboards, carpet shampooing, and re-polishing of hard floors.
Every surface of a computer workstation is exposed to huge amounts of bacteria and viruses each day, and these can be easily spread amongst your staff if not handled appropriately. By disinfecting these surfaces we can help you minimise their spread – meaning less days off sick for your staff.
Like server equipment, your standard workstation hardware can be affected by a build up of dust around the internal circuitry and mechanics. Periodic deep-cleaning can maximise operational efficiency and prolong the life of the equipment.
Whether you are:
- a commercial or private landlord with a property that needs to be cleaned ready for your next tenant to move in,
- a construction company who does not have the resources to ensure your recent project is ready for occupation,
- moving house and just don’t have time for the hassle of cleaning the place up for the new owner
… our ‘blitzing’ service is just what you need!
Our team of professional operatives will come in and ensure the entire place is left sparkling, all while you are out getting on with your other important business.
For a quotation, or to discuss your requirements, please contact us.
To all of our contract customers we offer an additional 24 hour call-out option should you be struck down by a catastrophic event. Following a disaster such as a flood, leakage, or fire suppressant discharge, our team of operatives will be available to begin restoring your facility as soon as it deemed safe to enter the premises, and will get your facility operational as quickly as possible.
