Cleanroom Cleaning
Cleanroom cleaning services for ISO Class 6 through 9 environments, built around a contamination control strategy from entry to exit.
Cleanroom Cleaning, Certified Through iNX ProCert
Technicians assigned to cleanroom accounts are Certified Cleanroom Cleaning Technicians (CCCT) under our iNX ProCert program. No universally accepted certification existed for cleanroom cleaning technicians, so iNX developed its own proprietary program instead. It's modeled on recommended practices from IEST, the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology. The program covers the ISO Class 6 through 9 range, built around nine micro-certifications, each with its own exam.
Certification doesn't stop there. Technicians complete refresher training and renew annually to stay current. Only technicians certified through iNX ProCert are assigned to work in your cleanroom.
Cleanroom Contamination Control
Cleanroom cleanliness is measured in particle count, not appearance. The wrong technique doesn't just fail to reduce particle counts, it raises them. iNX technicians know the difference and act accordingly inside a cleanroom.
In cleanroom production areas, they follow procedures built on ISO 14644 and IEST recommended practices, including:
- Donning and doffing, hand hygiene, and cleanroom entry protocols
- Using cleanroom-rated equipment and chemicals, such as HEPA/ULPA-filtered vacuums and IPA or quat-based disinfectants, selected per your facility's SOPs and contamination control strategy
- Top-down, clean-to-dirty cleaning order through the room
- Unidirectional wiping technique with dedicated, color-coded tools
iNX follows the cleaning and disinfection requirements defined in your facility's SOPs and contamination control strategy. This may include disinfectant rotation and sporicidal treatment based on your established protocols and applicable standards.
What's cleaned, how often, and to what specification is defined with your team and carried out by a certified cleanroom cleaning technician.
We Service Cleanrooms Across Industries
Whether your cleanroom supports aerospace components, electronics production, pharmaceuticals, or medical devices, every cleanroom cleaning technician is certified through our iNX ProCert program, then scoped to your facility's specific requirements.
Aerospace & Defense
Aerospace hardware depends on components built in particle-controlled environments, where a single defect can compromise a mission-critical system.
Electronics Manufacturing
Particle and static control that prevents the latent defects that cause components to fail once they're in the field.
Medical Manufacturing & Pharmaceutical Compounding
Disinfection protocol built to prevent the contamination that puts patients at risk, across everything from implants to pharmaceutical compounding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial cleaning is typically evaluated by overall cleanliness and appearance. Cleanroom cleaning is measured by particle count instead, so two spaces can look equally clean while performing very differently.
That changes the cleaning method. Techniques and materials appropriate for a conventional commercial environment may not provide the level of contamination control required in a cleanroom. iNX technicians train separately for cleanroom cleaning, using practices such as unidirectional wiping, top-to-bottom sequencing, and dedicated tools that do not cross between designated zones.
Cleanroom cleaning is governed by your facility's SOPs, contamination control strategy, and classification requirements. These determine the specific procedures, equipment, and chemicals used, such as HEPA- or ULPA-filtered vacuums and cleanroom-compatible wipes and mops.
Within that framework, iNX technicians are trained to clean from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest and from ceiling to floor. Wiping is unidirectional, using a quarter-folded wiper so a fresh surface is available as cleaning progresses. The exact sequence and technique are carried out according to your facility's established procedures.
Cleanroom cleaning is governed by ISO 14644, the international standard for cleanroom classification, and by recommended practices from IEST. iNX's CCCT program is built on these standards, with training centered on the ISO Class 6 through 9 range.
A contamination control strategy is the documented approach that governs how a cleanroom is kept within its classification, covering training, technique, and disinfection protocol. iNX technicians follow your facility's own contamination control strategy, including specific details like disinfectant rotation.
iNX provides cleanroom cleaning services throughout Southern California, in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties, serving cities such as Los Angeles, Anaheim, Riverside, and Ontario.
Yes. iNX cleans your cleanroom and the rest of your facility, including offices, break rooms, restrooms, and common areas. Working with iNX means one provider who already understands your entire space, plus a dedicated Client Services manager as your single point of contact, so you don't have to coordinate separate vendors.
