Many electrostatic discharges are occurring all the time, especially in dry climates and during the winter, when the air is primarily dry, and there is no moisture to help remove the excess electrons (because water is conductive, the electrons can pass much more easily). Typically, this is nothing but a minor irritation, however it can have dire consequences with static sensitive electronics.
It is important to have ESD sprays and cleaning supplies on hand and ready to go for your Electrostatic Protected Area or office to avoid electrostatic discharge. Browse through our range of ESD sprays and cleaning supplies above, fit for static prone areas and equipment.
Cleaning and treating your ESD equipment are vital processes of your ESD Control Routine. Without taking the necessary precautions to clean your equipment properly, you could compromise the effectiveness of your equipment and therefore damage electronics. These processes are important because they do not only remove contaminants and excess static charge, but also maintain the longevity and effectiveness of your static control equipment – often extending the shelf-life. Whilst this is one thing, it is important to remember to use the right type of cleaning products to treat your ESD equipment. Otherwise, you could be doing more harm than good.
The use of standard household cleaners on ESD equipment, such as ESD matting, can put an ESD Control Program at risk and compromise the ESD properties of the items. Many household cleaners contain silicone or other insulative contaminants which are great to use on surfaces in your home but can be damaging to ESD equipment. The problem is that silicone and other chemical contaminants can create an insulative layer which reduces the grounding performance of the mat. Therefore, the mat will become more susceptible to static charge build-up which can then dissipate and transfer onto the static sensitive item, damaging it.
Using the correct form of cleaning products is particularly important if you have invested a lot of money into ESD control equipment. You wouldn’t want to spend a large amount of money to then coat it in an insulative layer by using household products. There are many specially formulated ESD cleaners available on the market, take a look at our extensive range above. We stock all types of ESD cleaners and treatments, specially developed for ESD Control. Remember, only clean your ESD working surfaces using specially formulated ESD cleaners.

It is crucial to clean your static control equipment regularly to ensure they are working to their best ability and are rid of any static charges. Our ESD floor cleaner is dedicated to cleaning vinyl and rubber flooring materials, specifically formulated for effective cleaning and long-term static control. Our mat and tabletop cleaners are ideal for cleaning most non-porous surfaces. This water-based cleaner is perfect for use on antistatic mats and vinyl chairs. When choosing an ESD cleaner to purchase, it is important to check its ingredients before purchasing. Two factors to check for are whether it’s suitable for cleaning production areas and its chemical composition.
Since dirt can behave as an insulator, it is essential to clean ESD mats before testing and monitoring the resistivity. A dirty mat could affect the test results. This is something you want to avoid. Cleaning will also ensure optimum electrical performance and, by regularly cleaning, you will maintain the original resistivity of the anti-static mat whilst extending its shelf-life (a bonus!).
To clean ESD mats, we recommend using a mild, multi-purpose neutral cleaner that doesn’t contain any alkali, ammonia or chemicals on RoHS and REACH SvHC. You should also opt for a cleaner that leaves no streaks or film. Generally, any ESD-safe mat cleaner should be safe to use on workstations, tabletops and anti-static mats, including rubber and vinyl.
An example of an excellent ESD-safe mat cleaner is Bondline’s Staticide Mat and Table Top Cleaner. This mat cleaner is a non-flammable cleaner that leaves no film or streaks. It effectively removes flux residues, oily finger-marks, grease, nicotine, dirt, grime and inorganic contaminants. It also removes dirt on chair mats and other antistatic mats without degrading the surface’s antistatic properties.
When it comes to cleaning and treating an ESD floor or anti-static mat, it is an absolute must that you use the appropriate cleaning equipment. Why? Using standard cleaning products on your ESD matting or flooring can affect the ESD properties and therefore make them less effective; it can even increase the surface resistance to the ground which can lead to dire consequences. This, in turn, can affect your static sensitive components, leaving them prone to ESD damage. Not to mention, it can lead to costly replacements down the line, particularly if there is latent or catastrophic damage. This is why it is so important to use ESD cleaners and treatments to properly clean and maintain your mats and floors while ensuring the ESD qualities are safe. Browse our static control cleaning range above.
Even if you clean your ESD mats and floors properly using the correct solutions, the integrity of your ESD mat/floor is not always guaranteed to be working to its fullest. You should regularly check your matting and floor with a surface resistivity meter to determine whether the surface is at the correct resistance value.
One of the most common failures we see during annual ESD audits is an increase in ground to floor resistance, usually caused by a change in cleaning contracts.
When a company changes cleaning contracts, the new cleaners likely have no ESD experience or training and could therefore use a cleaning product that leaves a layer of non-conductive residue behind, thus increasing the surface resistance to ground.
If a non-conductive polish is used, the floor could need stripping and retreating. It is essential to ensure that the cleaning contracts you hire, whether new or existing, are ESD trained and use the correct cleaning products in your EPA. If they are not ESD trained and use the incorrect cleaning products, this can result in costly replacements!
