The standards we follow
We follow ISO 14644-1, the global standard for cleanroom air cleanliness, ensuring your data centre meets industry-approved contamination levels.
This standard classifies airborne particle concentration, which is critical for preventing dust buildup that can lead to overheating, hardware failures, and reduced cooling efficiency.
Using calibrated particle counters, we measure airborne particulates before and after cleaning to verify compliance with ISO Class 8 or higher, the recommended standard for most data centres.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the size of the room, and the scope requested, it can take anywhere from half a day to a whole weekend. For larger data centres with multiple rooms, we recommend breaking up the clean over several days.
We can schedule the cleaning based on your change and security access window. This would typically mean a weekend.
We only use equipment, tools and products that are approved and safe in data centres and IT equipment. We typically use:
- ESD safe brushes
- ESD safe HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner
- ESD safe air compressor
- Non-abrasive soft microfibre cloths
- ESD & IT equipment safe cleaning solution (non-drip)
- Calibrated Particle Counter
Definitely not! General cleaners don't have the knowledge, certification or tools to clean a data centre safely and properly.
Our pricing is designed to be very affordable and competitive. We usually charge per square foot, based on the scope required and the frequency. We highly recommend a regular cleaning schedule.
We can tailor the frequency based on your requirements and budget. However, for most data centres, we highly recommend including a deep clean at least twice per year, and a regular clean once per month.
We always provide a detailed service report which typically includes the service summary, full test results, a testing certificate, photos and any identified issues & recommendations.
No, your equipment can stay on and we will only clean areas authorised by you. We recommend keeping the room as clean as possible, which will in turn reduce the amount of dust on the equipment itself.
The objective is to clean the entire room (ceiling, floor, under floor, surfaces) to minimise dust build-up on the equipment itself. We minimise touching equipment where possible. However, if there is dust on the equipment we will use specialised tools to remove the dust with the utmost care.
