Can cleanroom wipes be used only once? The answer is no. Many cleanroom wipes are fully reusable; the key lies in proper cleaning. With scientific maintenance, their performance can be stably maintained to meet multiple precision wiping needs.

To keep your cleanroom wipes as clean as new, please master the following cleaning and maintenance points:

I. Core Principles for Daily Cleaning

The key to daily cleaning is gentle treatment and the elimination of chemical residues. Strictly observe the following:

  1. Detergent & Water Temperature: Use neutral detergent and warm water. Bleach damages fibers and is strictly prohibited.
  2. No Fabric Softener: This is a major taboo. The film left by softeners completely blocks the pores of microfibers, rendering the wiping function ineffective.
  3. Thorough Rinsing: Rinse multiple times with clean water to ensure absolutely no detergent residue remains.
  4. Correct Drying: Choose air drying or a dryer. Ironing or direct sunlight is strictly prohibited to prevent damage to the fiber structure.

II. Professional Ultra-Clean Cleaning Process

For high-cleanliness scenarios, cleaning must be performed in a cleanroom by professionals wearing cleanroom garments:

  • Pre-treatment & Main Wash: Soak with neutral antistatic detergent to remove oil, then clean via ultrasonic or high-pressure spray equipment with precise temperature and time control.
  • Ultrapure Water Rinsing: The core step. Rinse multiple times using ultrapure water with a resistivity of ≥18.2 MΩ·cm to thoroughly remove ions and particles.
  • Dehydration & Drying: Dry at low temperature in a cleanroom dryer to prevent deformation. Post-drying finishing removes lint and impurities.

III. Storage, Maintenance & Lifespan Management

Scientific maintenance significantly extends service life:

  • Storage Environment: Store in a clean, dry, ventilated place away from sharp objects.
  • Usage Standards: Avoid excessive force during wiping to prevent pilling; do not use strong acids or alkalis on stubborn stains.
  • Regular Replacement: Establish an inspection mechanism and replace immediately upon finding wear, severe contamination, or damage.

Summary: Only by combining standardized cleaning (banning softeners, using ultrapure water) with proper maintenance can you ensure cleanroom wipes always maintain peak performance for cost-effective reuse.
