Cleaning cleanroom surfaces with the correct clean room wipe
Clean room surfaces are usually cleaned by using hand wipes. There are several common variations of clean room wipes. Cotton Cleanroom Wipes, Custom Solvent Cleanroom Wipes, ESD Wipes, Nonwoven Cleanroom Wipes, Foam Cleanroom Wipes, Polyester Kint Cleanroom Wipes, and Polyester Sealed Edge Cleanroom Wipes are most commonly found in clean rooms and labs. The use of pre saturated wipes with a blend of 70% Isopropyl alcohol and 30% Di Ionized water is very effective when “wet cleaning” is necessary. These wipes are packed in user friendly containers and have no loose stringy fibers that are common with wet wipes in round pop-up canisters. If static charge is a concern, ESD wipes are available such as (VS5-99). VS5 employ carbon fibers within the knit fabric.
