Why Clean Your Data Centre?

A clean IT environment directly increases equipment lifespan and performance.

Studies, including recent findings by AWS, show that servers and switches can operate for 4 years instead of 3 when contamination is effectively controlled — delivering measurable savings and reduced downtime.

Dust, in all its forms, is a hidden danger in data centres. It contributes to:

  • Overheating and increased energy use
  • Equipment failure and shutdowns
  • Fan wear and bearing damage
  • Fire risk due to dust accumulation
  • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues

IT Cleaning’s expertise ensures your facility operates at optimal efficiency while reducing the risk of costly downtime or equipment loss.

“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 (3rd Edition)

Our Expertise and Services

IT Cleaning Ltd specialise in Controlled Environment Cleaning and testing for:

  • Data Centres & Data Halls cleaning
  • Server Rooms cleaning
  • Comms Rooms cleaning
  • Computer Rooms cleaning
  • Other IT Infrastructure Environments cleaning

Where possible, we clean all mission-critical rooms to ISO 14644-1:2015 Class 8 or better, ensuring all accessible surfaces pass a “glove test” (dust-free verification).

After cleaning, your environment is tested and certified in accordance with ISO 14644-3, and a Certificate of Conformity is issued — valid for one year and suitable for internal or external audits.

Understanding the ISO 14644 Standard

The ISO 14644 standard defines the international requirements for cleanrooms, clean zones, and controlled environments.

A data centre or server room qualifies as a controlled environment — where air temperature, humidity, and particle concentration must be tightly regulated to protect sensitive IT assets.

  • IT Cleaning Ltd apply cleanroom methodology to IT environments, ensuring:
  • All particulate contamination is minimised
  • Cleaning and testing are traceable and certifiable
  • Environmental performance is maintained between cleans

How We Clean Your Data Centre

With over two decades of experience, we use the most advanced equipment, processes, and testing technology available:

  • HEPA-filtered vacuums and air scrubbers to remove particulates down to 0.3 microns
  • Microfibre and tacky wiping systems for complete dust control
  • ESD-safe materials and non-residue cleaning solutions
  • Video inspection technology to safely access and clean hidden areas
  • Post-clean ISO 14644-3 testing with a Solair 5100+ particulate counter

All airborne particulates dislodged during cleaning are immediately captured by our HEPA filter 0.3-micron air scrubber systems — preventing recontamination and ensuring ISO 14644 Class 8 compliance is achieved and maintained.

Validation and Certification

Following every clean, we conduct validation testing in line with ISO 14644-3:2015, measuring airborne particle concentration to confirm that your environment meets or exceeds the specified ISO Class.

You will receive:

  • A full validation report
  • A Certificate of Conformity valid for 12 months
  • Test data suitable for audits and compliance documentation

These certificates provide valuable assurance during compliance audits, client reviews, and insurance inspections.

“Perhaps the most important step to control contamination is to contract with a reputable computer room maintenance company to perform routine cleaning.”— John William Toigo, Disaster Recovery Planning (3rd Edition)
