In cleanroom environments, routine facility cleaning isn't enough. Critical cleaning refers to the precise and validated procedures required for equipment, tools, and surfaces that come into direct contact with products or process media.
SOPs for critical cleaning help eliminate contamination at its source and are vital to quality assurance in high-stakes industries like microelectronics, life sciences, and aerospace.
Develop SOPs for product-contact surfaces and sensitive tools
Select and qualify cleanroom consumables for specific applications
Match cleaning chemistries to substrate and process risk
Validate cleaning effectiveness using standardized test methods
“Without documented SOPs for critical cleaning, facility operations and process quality are at risk.”
