Cleanroom Cleaning
AusClean Commercial Cleaning is your resource for Cleanroom Cleaning services.
Cleanrooms are designed to prevent particle entry, purge, and filter air, provide different areas for different levels of cleanness, and isolate spaces and air pressure as needed. However, the design of the cleanroom is not enough to keep it clean. Having a procedure in place for your cleanroom cleaning is incredibly important for any organization that manufactures goods in a controlled environment.
Without cleanroom cleaning procedures, your cleanroom runs several risks:
• Your cleanroom will not be cleaned properly.
• You might fail audits or quality checks.
• The cleanroom could become contaminated by skin cells, hair, bacteria, dust, fungus, perfumes, cosmetics, lint, and more.
Any contamination can tarnish your products, which is lost revenue when the products cannot be sold. When this happens, you will need to absorb the costs of labor required to manufacture the goods, the costs of the supplies involved, and any overhead. If contaminated goods make it to market, your company will be at risk for a lawsuit if end users experience any adverse effects.
Simply attacking cleanroom cleaning on an as-needed or as-noticed basis will not be enough to protect you, your organization, or your end users. A clearly outlined procedure will help eliminate any potential confusion or last-minute rushes trying to keep your cleanroom in order.
How to keep a cleanroom clean
Have everyone who enters the cleanroom follow proper gowning and gloving procedures and step on a tacky mat before entering the controlled environment. Do not allow anyone to eat, smoke, or even chew gum within the cleanroom. Ensure only approved cleanroom garments are worn inside the cleanroom and have everyone who enters the cleanroom remove cosmetics. Finally, while cleaning, no one should perform any fast motions, and no one who is physically ill should be allowed inside the controlled environment.
