Myth: Anyone Can Clean and Maintain a Cleanroom Environment

People tend to think that a cleanroom requires a simple garment, eye protection, shoe covers, and sanitizing wipes, but cleaning and maintaining a cleanroom requires so much more than that.

The reality is that the maintenance of cleanroom and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) areas requires stringent sanitation requirements with no room for leniency. Some of these stringent sanitation requirements consist of equipment-appropriate cleaning agents, methods and products, as well as suitable frequencies of cleaning for various surfaces.

Yes, this kind of work can be difficult and time-consuming because it must be performed by cleaners wearing protective garments, gloves, boots, eyewear, masks, head coverings, etc. But it’s also worth it because without proper cleanrooms, many of our modern-day products, conveniences and technology would simply not exist. When it comes to cleanrooms, if it wasn’t properly executed and documented, then it didn’t happen.

Myth: A Task Checklist Is Good Enough For Cleanroom Staff

Actually, a cleaning staff and cleanroom staff needs much more than a simple checklist to make sure that cleaning processes are being followed correctly. Indeed, the cleaning staff must know the unique purposes of cleanroom operations to understand the context, importance and need for the strict cleaning protocols and potential consequences of contamination for any serious, clean operation.

A specialized cleaning contractor or another dedicated cleanroom specialist can significantly help clients determine the best procedures and frequencies to keep and maintain the right levels of cleanliness. With an informed understanding of the reasons for sanitation processes and documentation requirements, cleanroom specialists can also be partners in maintaining high standards.

A dedicated specialist that’s knowledgeable and familiar with the contaminant-free, cleanroom industry should work tirelessly to ensure that a given cleanroom remains safe, operational, productive, and meets quality product standards.
