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.
