Why Deep Cleaning is
Important?

Deep cleaning is an intensive technical cleaning designed to maintain a clean environment in critical facility space. This type of cleaning is vital for the facility uptime and business continuity.

Thorough cleaning will keep the critical environment space free from harmful dust and contaminants, which can lead to overheating, corrosion damage, electrical and mechanical failure of IT equipment which can cause unexpected business downtime.

Deep cleaning addresses every area within the critical facility from the floor surface up to ceiling voids, above and under a raised floor, all walls, doors, ledges, cabinets, IT equipment, Infrastructure equipment…etc.

The ISO 14644-1:2015 Class 8 standard defines the minimum cleaning requirements for a mission-critical environment. It specifies
the maximum allowable air particles concentration in a critical space.

Why Disinfection is Important?

Disinfection refers to specific measures taken to control, deactivate, or kill infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria. Disinfection is normally undertaken on an infrequent basis, during periodic maintenance checks or after a public health event such as Covid19 which caused a worldwide pandemic.

Based on the information presented by the WHO, it is likely that the virus can be introduced and that there can be contamination in the Datacentre. The most likely vector for transmission is infected individuals who do not know they are infected.

Cleaning and sanitizing after such a health emergency is important to help prevent the spread of illness and disease.

Disinfection will not be effective in the presence of dirt, therefore, it has to take place immediately after a deep cleaning process.

Disinfecting critical facilities by using chemicals which are SASO and SDFA registered disinfectants, to kill germs on surfaces after cleaning further reduces any risk of spreading infection.

SERVICE DETAILS

Prior to starting the cleaning process, DNC will perform a site survey to identify the critical and non-critical areas which require cleaning, the fire alarm detection system, emergency power-off switches, and fire suppression system. We must ensure that the fire detection and suppression systems are deactivated prior to starting the cleaning process.
Upon completing the site survey, the DNC team will submit a risk assessment report to the client which identifies the potential risks and mitigation plan which be taken by both the client and DNC to prepare the site for cleaning. Complete details are available here.
