Why Technical Cleaning Is Critical in Broadcast Environments

Broadcast equipment operates continuously, generating heat and static that attract fine dust.
These particles — typically 0.5 to 5 microns in size — are invisible but highly damaging.

Dust contamination can lead to:

  • Blocked airflow and overheating

  • Fan wear and bearing failure

  • Optical interference in cameras and displays

  • Audio distortion and interconnect interference

  • Surface abrasion on drives, mixers, and media

  • Increased risk of hardware failure and downtime

“Contamination has been the indirect cause of more equipment downtime than all the fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and disgruntled employees combined.” Jon William Toigo, Disaster Recovery Planning (3rd Edition)

Our Cleaning Process

Technical Broadcast Cleaning Services. All broadcast areas are cleaned using HEPA-filtered vacuums and microfibre wiping systems.
After removing dust and particulates, surfaces are wiped with anti-viral and anti-bacterial products to maintain hygiene standards.

We clean both the room and the equipment — ensuring cooling, ventilation, and electrical systems remain free from obstruction and static build-up.
