Cleaning a cleanroom is not a janitorial function; it is a contamination control activity. Your cleanrooms are your most important “process tool.” Cleaning materials and tools and cleaning procedures have a profound effect on the cleanliness levels achieved during the operation of the cleanroom. Consistent product quality is cleanliness dependent.

The current ISO standards require your cleanroom maintenance contractors to be fully trained in current cleanroom requirements and protocols. The skills and level of training provided to the typical janitorial staff is extremely inadequate by current ISO standards and industry practices. Your company has invested heavily to install a cleanroom and the operational expenses are not trivial. Do you want to risk potential product defects to a janitorial firm or employees that may not have the expertise or proper training in contamination control and cleanroom cleaning technology?
