Ever wonder why your office computers attract dust so quickly? You wipe it clean, and dust reclaims it by morning! It’s kind of frustrating, but why does it happen?
Continue reading the blog to explore the reason. Also, find some tips to keep your office electronic device safe from dust and dust-led malfunctions.
Electronic devices, especially when turned on, generate static electricity. This electricity works like a magnetic field for dust. Floating fibers, dead skin cells, and airborne dust are easily drawn to this invisible magnetic field. We hope you understand why you see so many dust particles on and around monitors, computers, printers, and other office devices.
The cooling system in office electronics controls the temperature of the device. While the cooling fan prevents overheating, it can also suck dust. The motor chips sometimes restrict airflow and trap dust easily.
Let’s face the truth: you do not have enough time to care for devices, while regularly cleaning touch points is crucial. It happens to everyone. Here, the culprit hides. Failing to periodically dust and spruce up calls for dust and dirt on devices.
Dust buildup on office devices is not only an aesthetic issue. Dust can clog the cooling system's fan and vents, restricting airflow. This can lead to overheating, crashes, and device malfunction.
Heavy dust accumulation can damage devices' internal systems. It can impair the movement of internal connectors like motherboards and circuits, restrict functionality, and lead to friction, overheating, and fire hazards.
Dust-led friction and lower electrical current impacts the overall device performance and hampers the life span.
Your office won't look aesthetic with dusty computers and printers. It will look filthy and give a negative impression to employees and visitors. Most importantly, we all know how a clean workplace increases productivity.
Dust buildup can impact the internal circuits and degrade the effectiveness of internal connections. It can lead to machine slowdown and loss of device memory.
Dust buildups hamper electronic device functionality, degrading performance and even harming device health. So, it is prudent to take care of office electronics and prevent them from getting dusty.
Here are some tips to clean and maintain your office electronic devices and keep away dust:
Deploy computer devices on the workstations. Believe us, it will be a real help. The motive is to minimize the devices' exposure to dust. Keeping the devices on the surface is not a good idea! Dust will accumulate easily.
When you keep the electronic devices on raised floors, dust can't sit on the surface quickly.
When the printers or computers are not in use, cover them. Once they have cooled completely, keep the delicate components in a locked cupboard to protect them from dirt particles.
Carpet and upholstery fabrics trap dust easily. You can eliminate all loose dust by cleaning them regularly with vacuum cleaners. These tiny particles can quickly enter the air and circulate.
As we said before, the static electricity-led magnetic field attracts these airborne particles easily.
To clean carpets and upholstery efficiently, hire an office cleaning professional like the CCS team. We can help you clean your office premises thoroughly, maintain a hygienic facility, and improve the air quality throughout the building.
To prevent dust buildup, use dust covers. They are one of the most effective methods of keeping dust away from devices. When the device is not in use, the cover acts like a barrier or shield against dirt.
While choosing the correct dust cover, opt for nonconductive material to hit and static electricity. Make sure the cover material is compatible with the device. You must be able to uncover the device quickly. So, align the choice with all vital points.
Leave a gap between furniture and devices. When you keep a space between objects, the heat will evaporate quickly. Ultimately, this will eliminate dirt accumulation on and around the device.
Electronic devices are sensitive to humidity and heat. Install devices in your office that control humidity and air quality. We hope this practice will alleviate the problem and prolong the life span of office electronic devices.
Dust in office electronics is not suitable for devices or your employees. Cluttered premises create clutter in mind and hamper productivity. Let not dust kill your office's hygiene, ambiance, and productivity. Take help from professional office cleaning services.

Static electricity, heat, and air cooling systems help electronic devices gather dust quickly on surfaces.
Yes, over time, the built-up dust creates friction in the internal component, degrades the device's performance, and shortens its life span.
Yes, dust on electronics creates health hazards for employees and creates un-breathable air.
Vacuum the carpets and upholstery, dust them, and wipe them down on the premises. Install an air purifier to manage dust. Most importantly, keep your office premises clean with the help of professional cleaners.
