“Contamination has been the indirect cause of more IT downtime than all the fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and disgruntled employees combined.” – Jon William Toigo, Disaster Recovery Planning, Third Edition. 

IT Cleaning Ltd have contracts for technical cleaning with a number of broadcasters in and around London, Leeds and Salford. Dust is a big problem within the broadcast environment as the equipment is always on. Static and other forces then work on the ever-present dust. This dust is very small in the range 0.5 micron to 5 micron. The main problems experiences would be, mechanical effects: These effects include obstruction of cooling airflow, interference with moving parts, abrasion, optical interference, interconnect interference, or deformation of surfaces (e.g., magnetic media) and other similar effects. IT Cleaning Ltd, clean the broadcast rooms, using HEPA filtered vacuuming, and wiping systems. Wiping with an anti-viral, anti-bacterial product, after removing the dust via our vacuums. The product we use is World of Cleans’ Surface Shield, which protects surfaces for 14 days from application. IT Cleaning Ltd also use 3G medical products to wipe surfaces. We can also offer fogging solutions. Chemical fogging at 0.5 micron, with chemicals that kill viruses, including Covid type viruses, this ensures any airborne virus is killed. We then wipe all surfaces down.
