Contaminants in the data centre may lead to corrosion damage, overheating, mechanical and electrical failure of disk & tape drives, circuit boards and power supplies. So, having a clean data centre is very critical for maintaining the health of the data processing equipment. 

You can find many companies that specialises in cleaning data centres in Chatswood. Pharo Cleaning Services is one such professional cleaning service in Chatswood providing expert data centre cleaning. Their services are designed to keep the computer room safe and running smoothly. 

Equipment surface cleaning 

Periodic cleaning of skins or exterior shells of computer room equipment, cabinets and workstations are done for the data centre to operate effectively. The cleaning techniques that are used safely removes dirt, fingerprints, smudges and tape residues. 

Interior server cabinet cleaning 

Server cabinet doors, surfaces of servers inside the cabinet and server exhaust fans are cleaned. These surfaces are basically vacuumed using filtered vacuums and then wiped by using an anti-static cleaner that's approved for data centre cleaning. 

Access floor tile surface cleaning 

This area needs a lot of attention. It is the space that receives foot traffic on a daily basis and so dust & debris are accumulated here overnight. Before starting to clean this area, the floor surface is not only mopped but vacuumed entirely. This is basically done to remove all dust & contaminants that are  present in that area. The floor is also pre-treated with cleaners that are environmentally friendly and safe to use, and then hand scrubbed. Just two neutral, damp mop rinse and the process completes providing an aesthetically pleasing as well as healthier environment.

This includes overhead cleaning. So, while ceiling cleaning either the drop ceiling tiles are vacuumed using filter vacuums that's appropriate for data centres or overhead raceways are vacuumed and wipe cleaned with the right anti-static cleaners.  

Subfloor vacuuming 

The sub floor is cleaned by vacuum cleaners. Detailed cleaning encompasses vacuuming all the sub floor surfaces, top portion of pedestals, top of stringers & under cables. Special attention is given to perforated air flow panels as well, because that's the main area through which contaminants enter  the sub floor. Each panel is carefully removed from support grid and cleaned thoroughly. 

Subfloor track cloth wipe down 

After vacuuming the sub floor area thoroughly, the pedestals, base floor surface, cable troughs and stringers are wiped clean using a tack cloth that's lint free. Although the vacuum cleaners are able to remove most of the debris of sub floor, the track cloth is used to wipe down the sub floor further.

How To Get Rid Of Ants In The House?

  

Doesn't it annoy you when you find ants crawling up your jam and cookie jars kept in your kitchen? Have you always wondered why your methods to eliminate ants from your house in Sydney failed most of the times? Many amongst us might not even be aware of the various natural as well as artificial remedies that can be applied and employed to stamp out those tiny pests from our houses all together.

It cannot be denied that ants have a critical role to play in the environment and are beneficial to humans in numerous ways. They act as exterminators of harmful pests like fleas, bedbugs, flies, spiders and clothes' moths. But this doesn't act as a consolation when ants sneak into our homes in search of food, shelter and protection from calamities such as rainstorms, floods, etc.

As the saying goes - 'Prevention is better than Cure', and keeping in mind the fact that some of us might not resort to killing ants, preventive measures to stop the entry of a rather nasty army of ants will seem more legitimate than terminative ones.

So, if you want to impede the ants from streaming in through the side of doors or crowding wall-cracks in your kitchen here are a few tips you can follow:

  • Seal off all jars containing sweet and sticky stuffs in the kitchen including jam jars, sauce bottles, honey containers, pickle bottles and the like.
  • Mop or vacuum the kitchen area on a regular basis, and wipe cabinets using vinegar/kerosene as these chemicals act as disinfectants.
  • After every meal, make sure not to leave out the dirty plates and dishes for a long time as they become a perfect feeding ground for ants.
  • Do not leave any food item uncovered in the kitchen.
  • Keep compost covered and enclosed.

If you're one of those whose house has already been infested by a colony of ants and you are at your wits trying to get rid of them, you'd be surprised to know that there are some excellent homemade remedies which are quite effective against ant attacks.

  • Strong scents and deodorants mess with their sense of smell. Putting cotton balls soaked with strong perfumes in the entryways of ants will help a lot in keeping them at bay.
  • There are some food stuffs that ants cannot digest and die, and cornmeal is the best among them. A mixture of 1 part sugar and 3 parts cornmeal can be used to lure ants to their doom.
  • Soapwater is also an effective remedy against ants as it breaks down into their exoskeleton and causes dehydration. All you need to do is spray some in the suspected areas.
  • Another cheap way to eradicate ants from the house is using salt water solution. Boil some salt water mixture and spray or sprinkle it near the stamping grounds of ants.
  • If you encounter a considerable number of ants in your kitchen or anywhere else around the house, sprinkle scented talcum over them and watch them dissipate away.
  • Close up the tiny cracks in walls using petroleum jelly or putty as ants often build nests inside them.
  • Lemon juice is also an efficient ant-repellent. Sprinkle lemon juice mixed with water over the nests and breeding grounds of ants.

If you want you can also get in touch with a professional company that offers pestservices in North Shore for ant control & removal in your home.

Routine Cleaning: An Important Part of Commercial Carpet Cleaning

  
Routine commerical carpet cleaning basically includes the methods that are intended to prevent soil from building up in the carpet and to lessen its impact on the appearance of the carpet and maximize the use life of the flooring material. Companies offering commercial carpet cleaning in Chatswood can perform routine cleaning either on a daily or on a weekly basis. They usually focus on the high soil load regions, in the corners as well as around the wall perimeters, and under and behind the furnishings using proper equipment and vacuuming tools. Sometimes these companies even do routine cleaning more regularly and does tasks like regular vacuuming of the area and timely spot cleaning. 

Pile lifting or vacuuming as well as activities like spot cleaning is generally done regularly on the commercial carpets. These two tasks can be accomplished at a regularly scheduled frequency for reducing the potential effects of the dry soils on carpet as well as the indoor environment. 

Various levels of traffic as well as soiling can help in determining the pile lifting and vacuuming frequencies: 

Entry foyers- The soils, which aren't contaminated by the entry mats will ultimately wind up in carpet and the entry foyers are just an example of the soil-prone area where pile lifting and vacuuming frequency must be increased 

Reception areas-Cleanliness of the reception areas and the lobbies has a direct impact on the life cycle as well as the aesthetics of the carpet. These areas must be maintained on a regular basis or a lot more frequently. 

Lobbies and elevator cabs-The lobbies and the carpeted elevator cabs are high-traffic areas. They must be pile lifted or maintained daily or a lot more frequently. 

Common areas or the corridors-The confined traffic-low corridors must be maintained regularly during the week with daily pile lifting and vacuuming. Or else, the accumulated soils may progressively spread to the adjacent areas and become part of the soil burden in those specific locations. Pile lifting on a periodic basis is even beneficial in removing the soil as well as preventing the matting and crushing of the carpet.

Areas that are less frequently used-Meeting rooms, conference offices and board rooms may be vacuumed 2-3 times a week. 

Carpet spotting-It's recommended that the facility service providers as well as the management be informed of the value of timely spotting, using proper spotting products and the methods. Longer the spots remain on the carpet, the greater the potential for the permanent stains. The longer a spot residue remains on carpet, more soil does it attract. Spill cleaning or routine spot cleaning is to be done by carpet cleaning companies.
