Watch out - if your PC is suffering under dirty workstation conditions, surrounded by dusty air, something disastrous might occur.
Industry research has concluded that up to 70 per cent of computer-related breakdowns are due to dust and other tiny particles in the air.
PCs are no exception. Dust could build up inside a computer and, over time, cause severe damage to it, Henrik Christensen, director of Abacus ComputerCare, said.
He said that as dust accumulated, it prevented heat from escaping. This would cause excessive heating of components, and your PC would then fail to run properly.
To reduce heat damage and chip destruction, dust should be removed without blowing it back into the office, he said.
Abacus provides a dust-cleaning service for PCs and workstations using its own machine specifically designed and manufactured for the Hong Kong market.
It also provides external cleaning of monitors, CPUs, keyboards and mouses by using its own cleaning material developed by sister companies in Norway and the Netherlands.
