Clean Room Wiping Dont’s

1st Jun 2016

Wiping Down The Clean Room Irregularly

In order to maintain a cleanly and sterilized clean room, proper housekeeping maintenance should be performed on a daily basis. Without a proper cleaning routine it’s much easier for contamination to occur, which can lead to a loss in product quality and increased production costs. While individual clean rooms will vary in local standards and sanitation requirements, skipping regularly scheduled wipe downs will cost you time and money.

Using A Non-Folded Wiper

When it comes to making the most out of your clean room wipes, folding them in halves or quarters can save you a significant amount of time and money. Failing to fold your wipes can be extremely wasteful, and without a proper wiping technique, you run the risk of contaminants being spread.

Wiping From Dirty Areas To Clean Areas

Since clean room wiping revolves around containing and removing hazardous contaminants, it’s important to avoid cross-contamination when cleaning multiple surfaces with the same wipe. When it comes to large spills or messes, it’s important to deal with the individual spill in isolation to avoid the spread of bacteria.

Using A Dry Or Overly Wet Wiper

Choosing the best wiper for your clean room can be a challenge, especially when there are so many options available on the market. Choosing to use a dry wiper will help with the removal of some but not all contaminants, while an overly wet wiper will oversaturate the surface and create an even larger spill of unwanted bacteria.

The best clean room wipes for your facility will depend on a variety of things like the clean room size and class. With the help of clean room sorbent wipes like the TX1009 Polyester Cleanroom Wiper, successful sterilization is just a wipe away!
