Key Takeaways:
- Routine rinsing is essential to prevent residue buildup in cleanrooms and should be integrated into cleaning programs using a risk-based approach that considers surface condition, safety and visual cleanliness.
- Use the “pull and lift” technique with lint-free wipes or mops, applying cleaning and rinsing solutions from cleanest to dirtiest areas with 20% overlapping strokes for consistent coverage.
- Rinsing frequency should be based on ISO classification, with solution changes recommended every 55 m² for ISO 5/6 and every 92 m² for ISO 7/8 environments.
- A one-step cleaner/disinfectant should be used routinely, with sporicides applied based on environmental monitoring data and rinse agents used as needed to remove residues.
- Visual inspection post-rinse is critical, ensuring surfaces are clean, dry and safe—free from slipperiness or stickiness that could compromise personnel safety or product integrity.
