Server rooms in a dusty valley
Bakersfield sits in one of the dustiest stretches of California, and fine dirt rides in on shoes, carts and every opened door. In a server room that grit lands on floor tiles and cable trays and eventually gets drawn into cooling fans and intakes. Bakersfield Janitorial Co cleans colocation suites, enterprise server rooms, telecom closets and network facilities, working strictly from the procedures each operator hands us.
We clean past the racks, too. Offices, the reception and badge area, shipping and receiving, restrooms and break rooms are part of the plan, so dust from the rest of the building never becomes the equipment room’s problem.
Where Bakersfield’s data lives
Colocation facilities sit downtown, and many of the city’s energy, agriculture and healthcare employers run server and network rooms inside their own offices. Each one is a small, sensitive room inside a much larger, dustier building.
Whoever runs the room sets the cleaning rules, and our crews follow them.
Inside the equipment room
Before anyone steps in, the crew suits up at the door you choose, with booties, hair covers and gloves when your rules ask for them. Only supplies your team has cleared come inside: lint-free cloths, vacuums fitted with HEPA filters and cleaners approved for live environments. Liquids stay on the cloth, never on the hardware, and the crew keeps its hands off servers, switches and patch panels.
The work starts at the ceiling and finishes at the floor. Ladder racks and trays come first, cabinet doors and blanking panels next, and tiles last, which keeps dislodged dust from falling onto a surface that was just cleaned. Locked cages stay closed unless the tenant or operator unlocks them for us.
Floors and the air space below
Solid and perforated floor tiles are wiped with a barely damp cloth and approved cleaner, then vacuumed, including the cutouts where cables pass through. If the room uses the space under the floor to move cool air, only a handful of tiles come up at once, in the order your facilities lead sets, and each one returns to its own spot before the next section opens.
Support pedestals and stringers are cleaned without tugging on any cable. Hard floors in hallways and offices outside the room get static-safe finish care on the same schedule as the rest of the site.
Working inside your security rules
We send names to your security contact before a visit, show ID at the door and wait for an escort when your rules require one. Every entry and exit is logged, and the crew stays inside the rooms listed for that night.
Each person on the crew passes a background check before a first visit, and a supervisor reviews the work against your own checklist. Bakersfield Janitorial Co carries insurance and workers’ compensation and sends a certificate of insurance for your vendor records.
The rest of the building
Monitoring rooms, offices and conference rooms are cleaned through our janitorial services, restrooms and kitchens are cleaned and stocked, and the receiving area is swept and scrubbed so cardboard and pallet debris stay far from the equipment room. Warehouse-style storage follows our industrial and warehouse cleaning.
When a room is built out or expanded, a post-construction clean clears drywall dust from ceilings, walls, trays and floors before the first rack is rolled in.
Timed around your maintenance windows
Critical rooms rarely go quiet, so visits are planned around your change and maintenance calendar. Routine tile and support-area work can run weekly, while under-floor and overhead tray cleaning is booked monthly or quarterly during the calmest stretch on your schedule. After each visit, facilities staff get a short note listing the areas cleaned and anything the crew spotted, such as debris near a cage or a missing blanking panel.
What shapes the price
Server room and data center cleaning is priced per site. Room and raised floor area, under-floor work, gowning and escort steps, how often visits happen, after-hours windows and the size of the support space all set the figure.
A few useful answers
Common questions
Will your crew follow our server room procedures?
Yes. Whatever your procedures say about gowning, entry, products and zones is exactly what the crew does.
Can the space under our raised floor be cleaned?
Yes. A few tiles come up at a time in the order your facilities lead approves, and the space below is HEPA-vacuumed and wiped.
Does anyone on the crew handle our equipment?
Never. The crew cleans cabinet doors, trays, panels and floors and leaves servers, switches and cabling alone.
Can a small server room inside an office be included?
Yes. An in-house server or network room can be added to your office plan and cleaned to your procedures.
