Server Rack Cleaning – Before & After Images
Ever wondered how much damage dust buildup can do to your server rack? These real-life before-and-after images from our BACS cleaning team show the dramatic difference a precision clean can make—protecting equipment, improving airflow, and preventing costly downtime.
Patch Panel Surfaces
Before: Dust layering on cables and patch panels, blocking airflow and increasing the risk of overheating.
After: Spotless panels and cables with clear airflow paths for optimal cooling and long-term reliability.
Cable Dividers
Before: Hidden dust accumulation in tight, hard-to-clean spaces.
After: Thoroughly cleaned dividers that help maintain particle control standards.
Obscured Equipment
Before: Equipment surfaces coated in dust, creating a dull, grey appearance.
After: Fully restored surfaces that meet ISO 14644 particle cleanliness levels.
Rack Structure
Before: Heavy dust deposits affecting both appearance and functionality.
After: Pristine structure, recommended as part of regular server room maintenance.
Why Regular Rack Cleaning Matters
- Protects hardware integrity by removing dust that can cause overheating or electrical faults.
- Improves airflow, boosting cooling efficiency and reducing strain on equipment.
- Maintains compliance with ISO 14644 cleanliness standards.
- No downtime—our trained, security-cleared staff clean without interrupting your operations.
Our Precision Cleaning Process
- Anti-static, non-linting tools and cleaning materials.
- Targeted dust removal from all visible and hidden surfaces inside and outside the rack.
- Careful handling of cables and components to avoid disturbance.
- Optional full data centre cleaning—above floor, subfloor, and particle monitoring.
Recommended Cleaning Frequency
We recommend internal server rack cleaning at least once a year for most facilities, or more frequently in dusty or high-traffic environments. Including rack cleaning as part of a wider data centre maintenance plan helps ensure your systems remain reliable year-round.
