ICT Care - Computer Valeting

ICT Care’s computer valeting services clean dirt, dust grime and germs that have built up inside and outside your PC. Vital components are generally coated in a layer of dust, brought in via the cooling fans on the PC. Dirt is hazardous to the health of your machine, as it overheats vital components of your PC. Fans, especially the processor cooling fan slows down to an eventual stop, your processor will overheat and no longer function.

Office equipment should be regularly disinfected to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria responsible for disease. Research reveals workstations contain nearly 400 times as many microbes than lavatories. The key offenders are telephones, which harbour up to 25,127 microbes per square inch, keyboards 3,295 and computer mice 1,676. By contrast, the average toilet seat contains 49 microbes per square inch.

By regularly cleaning computers the risk of expensive computer repairs caused by dirt build-up is greatly reduced. The possibility of sickness related to using dirty computer equipment is also reduced, and staff are happier using cleaner equipment.

It is advised for keyboards to be cleaned on a regular basis. ICT Care use foam cleaners and if required a more intense clean can be carried out which incorporates: removing all keyboard keys, vacuuming the keyboard, soaking keys in solution, cleaning each key individually, then reinserting each key back onto the keyboard.

Upon inspection the rollers inside your mouse on which a ball rotates will be covered with dirt, which stops the ball rotating, causing 'Sticky Mouse'. Dirt needs to be scraped from these runners, and extracted from the mouse to prevent further problems.

ICT Care’s computer valeting service thoroughly cleans the monitor's outer casing and screen area. It is important that the monitor is well maintained, if your vision is impeded in any way by dirt it could damage your eyesight.

Each component is either wiped down with a soft brush, or sprayed with compressed air to remove loose fragments of dirt and dust. A low suction vacuum is carefully used to remove loose debris, ensuring that not a spot is left within. Finally the outer casing is cleaned thoroughly.
