overall commitment to excellence and quality. An effective cleaning schedule must
consist of specially designed short-term and long-term actions. These can be
summarized as follows:
Frequency
Daily Actions
Weekly Actions
Quarterly Actions
Bi-Annual Actions
Daily Tasks
This statement of work focuses on the removal of each day's discarded trash and
rubbish from the room. In addition, daily floor vacuuming may be required in Print
Rooms or rooms with a considerable amount of operator activity.
Weekly Tasks
This statement of work focuses on the maintenance of the access floor system. During
the week, the access floor becomes soiled with dust accumulations and blemishes.
The entire access floor should be vacuumed and damp mopped. All vacuums used in
the data center, for any purpose, should be equipped with High Efficiency Particulate
Air (HEPA) filtration. Inadequately filtered equipment cannot arrest smaller particles,
but rather simply agitates them, degrading the environment they were meant to
improve. It is also important that mop-heads and dust wipes are of appropriate non-
shedding designs.
Cleaning solutions used within the data center must not pose a threat to the
hardware. Solutions that could potentially damage hardware include products that
are:
• Ammoniated
• Chlorine-based
• Phosphate-based
• Bleach enriched
• Petro-chemical based
• Floor strippers or re-conditioners
It is also important that the recommended concentrations are used, as even an
appropriate agent in an inappropriate concentration can be potentially damaging.
The solution should be maintained in good condition throughout the project, and
excessive applications should be avoided.
