Cleaning and Disinfection Programs for Data Centers
Clean and healthy data center environments support maximum uptime, increase confidence for data center operators and instill peace of mind for staff and customers. Nalco Water offers a comprehensive program to help data centers keep critical work areas clean and safe.
Not Your Typical Facility Cleaning Program
Data centers are essential businesses in this constantly connected, data-hungry world. As mission-critical facilities, data centers require a program that combines EPA-approved cleaning and disinfection products with guidance that’s consistent, verifiable and customized for their unique needs.
Nalco Water provides a science-based, outcome-driven hygiene program specifically designed for data centers. Take your housekeeping programs to the next level:
Our program starts with an on-site risk assessment for each location. Our experts identify and analyze hygiene risk zones based on parameters including occupancy rate, turnover, exposed surfaces and more. Then, we provide tailored recommendations including zone-specific product picks, product usage estimates and procedure reviews for data center cleaning and disinfection.
Nalco Water offers hospital-grade products for cleaning and disinfection. Each year, we clean:
- More than 40 billion hands, helping reduce 1.2 million infections
- More than 15 million patient rooms
- More than 3.5 billion surgical instruments
Our program features standardized procedures and protocols for cleaning and disinfection informed by the CDC, the FDA and local health department guidelines, including:
- Zone-specific risk surfaces, guides and signage
