Could you honestly look at your workstation computer and say that it’s clean? The benefits of a clean computer are so vast, from positively impacting your own health and wellbeing to that of your work environment, that it’s a constant surprise just how few people actually take the time to do it. Read on to learn more about the benefits of our computer cleaning service.

So few clean their computer or employ a company that offers that very service in fact that the site of a dirty computer has unfortunately become the norm for a great many. Computer cleaning is just as important as the cleaning of your office itself however, so much so that a computer left dirty and dusty could cause problems for your health and even greatly reduce the lifespan of your equipment by a substantial amount.

This shouldn’t really come as a surprise considering the delicate nature of a computer’s components. With that being said, we thought it would be of benefit for you and that of your staff, to see just why so many are now choosing to hire a computer cleaning service on a regular basis.

How A Computer Cleaning Service Could Help You

Improved Health And Hygiene – mould and dust are all big contributors to ailments such as asthma and allergies. Keyboards used by a multitude of users are also a breeding ground for bacteria, spreading germs and viruses quicker than you can hit control, alt, delete.

Reduction In Overheating – cooling fans are there to reduce the heat of your PC. If dust and debris however, are blocking the fans from doing their job and working at their optimum rate, your desktop and/or laptop could find itself overheating very quickly. Not only will this cause problems in the running of the PC on a day to day basis, but it could also lend itself to damage of hardware parts. With laptops in particular, battery life will be lost should overheating occur more regularly.

Clearer Monitor Visibility – it seems like a simple result of cleaning computers but it’s of huge benefit. Clearer displays will provide much better vision for you. This will only enhance your experience, making it easier for you to see and in the long run will be a much healthier option for your eyes.

Increase Lifespans Of Computers – as mentioned above, dust filling your computer, causing it to overheat etc will lend itself to components wearing out much quicker than expected. Regular cleaning however, will prevent dust and debris causing harm to the delicate components that keep your PC running smoothly, subsequently boosting its lifespan considerably.

Less Maintenance And Repairs – keep your computer in good condition with regular cleaning and the smaller niggling problems won’t have a chance to turn into larger, more costly problems. You’ll spend less money on repairs and replacement parts simply by cleaning and maintaining the current components.

Increased Productivity – as they say, a clean office is a productive office. When surrounded by dirt and grime, most will see their productivity reduced greatly. Give someone a clean environment however and productivity levels will usually increase as you allow for the literal and mental space to focus and work.

Research released in September 2014 from the American Society for Microbiology reveals just how rapidly germs and viruses spread.  You may be practicing good hygiene; however your colleagues could be putting you in danger spreading germs on to everyday office objects. The study from the ASM points out to the fact that germs spread within a matter of 2 to 4 hours. Samples from a doorknob, table-top, computer equipment and phone reveal that 40 to 60 percent of those who had been in contact with these items had picked up the germs in a matter of 2 to 4 hours. The researchers took samples from all the surfaces tested in the study and found between 60 to 100 fomites. Such a high amount can harbour many harmful organisms.

The study used a replica germ similar to the norovirus called bacteriophage MS-2 (safe for humans) to simulate the spread of flu. The study covers a number of work places such as office buildings, hotels, and health care facilities. Following these alarming results, a prevention/intervention test had to be carried out.

Prevention phase – cleaning

During the intervention phase, cleaning was conducted using disinfectants (which contains quaternary ammonium compounds) and anti-bacterial solutions, often in the form of anti-bacterial wipes. These wipes were applied to the same surfaces and objects prior to the intervention.  The following results concluded that there was a reduction of fomites by 80% and that the concentration of viruses had reduced by 99% or more.

Conclusion

The nature of the workplace means viruses such a norovirus and flu can spread rapidly and that cleaning/intervention can significantly reduce the risks of illness. Hence the importance of computer cleaning and the role it plays in protecting employees up and down the country.

As capitalism has evolved, much of the world’s factory work has moved East-wards, as a result the West has seen the rise of global brands that require vast warehouses and distribution centres. These giant spaces are run twenty four hours a day to near logistically perfection. That means failure is not an option as it could end up costing millions, hence the need for maintenance and cleaning services.

This trend has been bought about by cheap labour in the East and the increase of online consumerism in the west. Consumerisms reliance for online shopping has meant state-of-the-art technology is beginning to replace humans in order to provide an efficient service. This has resulted in a growth of warehouses and distribution services running on technical equipment. So let us explain how companies like Capital help such large organisations.

Before we delve into the cleaning and services they require we need to establish what the different between a warehouse and distribution centre is, if any at all. As you can see from the definitions that a distribution centre is a type of warehouse used to hold and redistribute goods and products. In most cases this will be technical area with specialised equipment and processes. Examples of this could include Royal Mail depots, Amazon distribution centres and supermarket depots.

Google definition of a warehouse:

Large building where raw materials or manufactured goods may be stored prior to their distribution for sale.

Google definition distribution Centre:

A distribution centre… is a warehouse or other specialized building, often with refrigeration or air conditioning, which is stocked with products (goods) to be redistributed to retailers, to wholesalers, or directly to consumers.

Warehouse and Distribution Centre Cleaning & Services

IT cleaning

– With the rise of technology in warehouses it means IT equipment needs to be cleaned. Everything from picking machines to server rooms need to be cleaned. Computers and mobile devices need regular cleaning due to heavy use in an industrial environment. Capital is able to provide such a service by combining its two core services of computer cleaning and data centre cleaning.

Deep cleaning (machine and part cleaning)

– Some warehouses have huge fan systems which need cleaning to run smoothly. This is where deep cleaning comes into play, cleaning machines and parts.

Floor cleaning

– Busy warehouses mean the floors are constantly worn, full of muck and dust. Floor cleaning is essential for safe and healthy working conditions. Liquid substances can be hazardous and potentially dangerous. Much of Capitals technical room cleaning involves the cleaning of floors and we understand how a clean floors make a huge difference.

Window cleaning

– Window cleaning is an essential requirement for all large building and is a basic regardless of whether building is a warehouse.

Builders clean

– Small sections of warehouses are rebuilt and structures can be moved around, meaning that in some cases a builders clean is required to clear up the aftermath.

Auditing (IT Hardware)

– All those items in the warehouse need to be accounted for. Items can go missing, stop functioning, be stolen or simply need updating. An end result of hardware auditing can result in greater efficiency. We’ve covered everything in our, ‘what is hardware auditing?’ blog post.

Security

– Security at all levels need to be covered. Building surveillance, security staff, employee security and security technology needs to be taken into account when safeguarding company assets. Many of these services can be provided by a number of organisations.

Vehicle maintenance

– For someone like DHL they rely heavily on vehicles to provide their service and it is vital they maintain the functionality of all the vehicles and protect their assets. Having an on-site mechanic can save a lot of hassle.

Recycling and waste disposal

– Supermarket distribution centre may have food waste to dispose of in addition to all the plastic and cardboard that is accumulated.

Other services

– Depending on the warehouse, services can vary hence the reason why we’ve simply mentioned the most common services.

As you can see a distribution warehouse is a small world of its own, which requires a vast number of services to keep it fully functioning. Capital is crucial in providing such services to the warehouse and distribution sectors.
