What cleaning chemicals should I avoid in my data center?

There are some approved monitor cleaners that manufacturer’s sometimes recommend – other than those we do not recommend using janitorial cleaning personnel, mops chemical or equipment in the data center as these can cause longterm surface, air and static damage to the environment and equipment. Occasionally there may be a need for quick cleanup of a spill or dirt that was tracked into the environment. If a Data Center Cleaning Professional cannot be contacted, a data center engineer (whom understands the equipment in the room) should use 70% Isopropyl alcohol or EnviroTek and a microfiber wiper (new – not used in another part of the building) to cleanup the mess.
