Ablutions Office Equipment Cleaning provides a specialised computer and office equipment cleaning service. Regular office cleaners do not or can not for insurance reasons clean any electronic equipment such as computers, keyboards, monitors, telephones, photocopiers, printers, cash registers, ATMs etc.

What businesses need this service?

All companies in today's business environment use some form of electronic equipment. This can range from a credit card machine in a newsagents to a network of computers in an office block. All businesses have at least one telephone and computer which requires regular professional maintenance.

The importance of cleaning increases if the electronic equipment is exposed to any of the following;

-Multiple users.

-A dirty environment.

-Carpeted area.

-Within public view.

3 Reasons for employing such a service;

1. It is essential to professionally maintain this electronic equipment (i.e. computers) as it plays such a central role in the running of a business.

· Computer maintenance specialists recommend computer equipment should be professionally cleaned a minimum of 2-3 times per annum reducing the risk of hard-drive failure by 90% (Kirk Steers, 2003, PC World article, “Hardware Tips”). Simple dirt and dust can cause a computer to overheat severely increasing the risk of failure. This downtime in turn is incurred as a huge cost to the business.

2. Electronic office equipment act as transfer points for all variations of germs, viruses and microbes.

· More and more businesses are leaning towards such a service with the recent media attention surrounding two major studies concerned with the cleanliness of an average office workstation. Microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerab (Leading Professor at the University of Arizona, USA) found that the average workstation harbours 400 times more microscopic germs than the average office toilet seat. In support of these findings Dr. Pat Rusin discovered some of the most common microbes to be passed on via a keyboard are “salmonella, e-coli, streptococcus, influenza and hepatitis c”.

· According to the Central Statistics Office, ‘sick days’ cost Irish businesses approximately €3 billion per annum. The cost of cleaning 11 computers a year equates to that of the cost of one average income person’s sick day wage. Air New Zealand identified a 52% improvement in sick days lost per annum after the introduction of a telephone/computer hygiene service. (NZ Journal of Environmental Health)

3. These findings are worrying considering every employer is legally obliged to provide a safe and healthy working environment.
