WSC Services offer specialist computer and IT equipment cleaning service.
Most people think computers, being electronic devices, don't require any mechanical maintenance, but this is not so. Many computer faults are caused by components overheating due to poor airflow in the case because of a build up of dirt and dust over time. It's worth while cleaning your computer annually or even more often if it is in a particularly dusty environment, on carpet or in a household with pets.

The spread of so called Super bugs such as MRSA, flurelated germs and other pathogens such as e-coli and C.difficile continues to receive regular national press coverage and represents a majorhealth and safety risk to you and your employees.
WSC have recognised the need to use an additional sanitising solution, called AX, which can be safely applied by our operatives to your PCs, keyboards, mice and telephones following a deep clean.
AXhas anti microbial properties that are proven to kill and control bacteria, viruses, mould and fungi on any hard surface by actually destroying the surfacetension of these microbes, as well as forming an invisible protective barrier that will continue to work for many days after application.
AX is non toxic and safe to use in any workplace
We also specialise in the deep cleaning of Data Rooms, Server Roomsand Communication Rooms.

Tools and Materials required
A No.2 Philips cross-head screwdriver.
A small flat-bladed screwdriver.
One can of compressed air (more if you suspectthe PC is really filthy
Do NOT use compressor air - it often has a high moisture content which will cause corrosion
and may contain aerosol lubricants which can cause electrical shorts.
Five or six kitchen paper-towels or napkins towipe down the case.
One small paintbrush with long natural bristles.1/2inch(12mm) size is ideal.
The greatest danger inside the tower is of you"electrocuting" the computer through discharge of staticelectricity that builds up on your body or clothing. Static is especially a problem during dry weather and if you have synthetic carpets or clothing. For example a synthetic pullover (sweater) would be a bad choice of garment for this job, a short sleeved cotton shirt would be a much better choice. The bestway to combat static while cleaning your computer is to wear a static strap attached to the chassis and worn on your wrist during the whole process.
Electrical Precautions
Inside the computer is completely safe with one exception - the power supply or PSU. The PSU is in its own metal box usually at the top rear of a tower (at the rear of a desktop) and you should NEVER attempt to openthis box or stick anything metallic into it. There may be an on/off switch at the back of the PSU and there may be a (red) voltage selection switch. Do NOT change the voltage selection switch. Older computers have power at the on/off switch at the front of the case, identified by a thick electrical cable linking the switch to the PSU. Do not attempt to disconnect this cable from the switch.
