10 tips for keeping data centres clean:
Always work dust-free: use microfibre cloths and anti-static hoovers with HEPA filter.
Never use wet cleaning in technical areas; only work slightly damp where permitted.
Focus on airflow.
Work from top to bottom to avoid re-contamination.
Clean periodically under the raised computer floor (raised floor).
Use proper cleaning equipment.
Make sure cleaners are technically trained and know what not to touch.
Measure and document substance levels for audits and quality assurance.
Perform cleaning outside peak hours to minimise risks.
Work with a data centre-specific cleaning protocol per zone (logbook with floor plans).
