Brad Keyes discusses regulations for cleaning sprinkler heads
By Brad Keyes / Special to Healthcare Facilities Today
Q: How would I go about cleaning the dust off the sprinkler heads?
A: Use a portable vacuum cleaner. If the dirty heads are located in the kitchen, then you will need warm soapy water and a toothbrush. But you may want to leave that to a sprinkler contractor to do.
