The most critical reason for this is that when cleaning floors in most controlled environments, the requirement is to control and remove contaminants that are invisible to the naked eye. Such a task can only be accomplished through the consistent and methodical use of tools and materials that are appropriate to the needs of the cleanroom environment and the processes in it.

It is essential in the Life Sciences and pharmaceutical, biologics, medical device and animal health industries.industries to keep tight control of the microorganisms within a given facility. Often, tools (mops, wipes) or protocols are overlooked, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the disinfection process. 

Presaturated wipes have offered many benefits to the life science industry. This article examines these benefits and why presaturated wipes are an excellent choice for critical environments.

Best practice for both wipes and mops in a cleanroom environment is to employ single-use disposable products.  This reduces the risk of cross-contamination and ensures that contaminants are physically removed from the cleanroom environment at the end of a session.  However, many facilities are laundering and re-using mops as a potential cost savings alternative to single-use disposable products.
