Mosaik Commercial Cleaning cleans data centers across Texas to ISO 14644 cleanroom standards and backs the work with particle testing, so operators can see measured results instead of taking a clean on faith. Based in Amarillo, Mosaik serves data center owners, operators and contractors statewide, from the Texas Panhandle and Lubbock to Abilene, West Texas and Dallas-Fort Worth.
If you manage a data hall, a colocation site or a new AI build, here is what ISO 14644 particle testing is, why it matters for data center cleaning, and what to expect when Mosaik tests and cleans your space.
What is ISO 14644 particle testing?
ISO 14644 is the international standard family for cleanrooms and controlled environments. Part 1 of the standard classifies how clean the air in a space is by counting airborne particles of set sizes in a measured volume of air. The classes run from ISO Class 1, the cleanest, to ISO Class 9, the least strict.
Particle testing is how that cleanliness gets measured. A technician uses an optical particle counter to sample the air at planned locations around the room and records how many particles of each size are present. The results show whether a space meets the target class and where the dirty spots are.
Data centers are not usually certified cleanrooms, but the same measuring method gives operators a clear, repeatable way to judge how clean a data hall really is.
Why particle testing matters in a data center
Servers, storage and network gear pull huge volumes of air through their cooling paths every minute. Dust, fibers and construction debris in that air can settle on components, clog filters and heat sinks, and add to heat and wear over time. Fine dust can also carry static and moisture that do not belong near electronics.
The problem is that much of this contamination is too small to see. A floor can look spotless while the air above it still carries fine particles. Particle testing replaces a visual check with a number, which helps in a few ways:
- A clear picture of the space. Readings show how much contamination is in the air and where it is concentrated.
- Proof after cleaning. Testing after the work documents the result, which is useful for owners, auditors and handoff reviews.
- A record over time. Repeat testing on a schedule shows whether filtration, door discipline and cleaning frequency are keeping up.
How Mosaik cleans and tests a data hall
Every project starts with a walk-through and a scope agreed with your facilities or project team. A typical data center cleaning project with particle testing looks like this:
- Plan and access. We review the layout, live and non-live areas, your access and escort rules, and any change-control steps your site requires.
- Agree on test points. We plan where particle readings will be taken so results can be compared over time.
- Cleanroom-standard cleaning. Crews clean the data hall and white space following ISO 14644 practices, using HEPA-filtered and anti-static equipment so dust is captured rather than stirred back into the air.
- Particle testing. We take particle readings to measure and document the cleanliness of the space after the work, so you have numbers to share with operations, clients or auditors.
One clear boundary: Mosaik cleans data halls and white space, but we do not clean inside server cabinets or work on IT equipment.
Which spaces Mosaik can test and clean
Particle testing fits anywhere contamination control matters. Mosaik’s data center work in Texas covers:
- Data halls and white space
- Electrical, UPS and battery rooms
- Job-site trailers and support facilities on data center builds
- New builds during construction and before handoff
Our crews are trained in OSHA safety and lockout/tagout procedures and follow your site’s safety plan, so work in and around energized areas stays inside the approved scope.
When to schedule particle testing and cleaning
The right timing depends on your site, but these are common points to test and clean:
- Before commissioning or handoff on a new build, after construction dust has been removed.
- After construction or renovation near or inside live space.
- Before moving in new equipment or bringing a new hall online.
- On a recurring schedule set by your operations team or your own specifications.
- After a dust event, such as a West Texas dust storm or a filter or door failure.
The target ISO class for your space should come from your owner, operator or equipment specifications. We clean and test to the standard your team sets.

Frequently asked questions
Who does particle testing and cleaning for data centers in Texas?
Mosaik Commercial Cleaning, a division of Mosaik Services Group in Amarillo, cleans data centers across Texas to ISO 14644 cleanroom standards and uses particle testing to measure and document the results.
What does ISO 14644 particle testing measure?
It counts airborne particles of set sizes in a measured volume of air using an optical particle counter. The counts are compared against ISO 14644-1 classes, which run from ISO Class 1, the cleanest, to ISO Class 9.
Why does particle testing matter for data center cleaning?
Much of the dust that affects electronics is too small to see, so a floor can look clean while the air still carries fine particles. Particle testing turns a visual check into measured results you can keep on file for owners, audits and handoff.
Does Mosaik clean inside server cabinets?
No. Mosaik cleans data halls and white space, plus electrical, UPS and battery rooms, but does not clean inside server cabinets or work on IT equipment.
Does Mosaik travel outside Amarillo for data center work?
Yes. Mosaik is based in Amarillo and serves all of Texas, including Lubbock, Abilene, West Texas and Dallas-Fort Worth.
