What is GMP Cleaning?

GMP cleaning is a cleaning process that follows the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines. It involves the use of validated cleaning procedures to ensure that manufacturing facilities and equipment are clean and free from contaminants that can affect product quality.

What are the challenges in GMP and GxP Cleaning?

The challenges in GMP cleaning include choosing the right cleaning agents, ensuring complete removal of contaminants, preventing cross-contamination, managing waste disposal, and minimizing downtime for equipment cleaning. Choosing the right GMP/GxP cleaning partner is key in overcoming the challenges in the Life Sciences industry.

A glimpse inside our process

Elevated protocols are key when it comes to health and safety

Cleaning a life science facility requires a high level of attention to detail and adherence to strict safety and compliance standards. Here is a general process for professionally cleaning life science facilities:

During this time, our associate will typically perform a range of cleaning tasks, such as:

Conduct a site assessment: Before starting the cleaning process, assess the facility to determine the areas that require cleaning and the level of cleaning needed. This includes identifying any GxP cleanrooms, CNC spaces, or areas with unique cleaning requirements.
Develop a cleaning plan: Based on the assessment, develop a cleaning plan that outlines the scope of work, the cleaning methods and products to be used, and the schedule for cleaning.
Prepare the cleaning area: Prepare the area to be cleaned by removing equipment, supplies, and materials. Cover all critical equipment and remove any hazardous or sensitive materials from the area.
Perform cleaning: Clean the area using appropriate cleaning methods and products. This includes dusting, wiping down surfaces, mopping floors, and cleaning equipment.
Conduct testing and validation: After cleaning, conduct testing and validation to ensure that the area meets all regulatory requirements. This may include air quality testing, surface testing, and other validation measures.
Document the cleaning process: Document the cleaning process and any testing or validation results in accordance with GDocP requirements and standards.
Implement ongoing cleaning and maintenance: Develop an ongoing cleaning and maintenance plan to ensure that the area remains clean and compliant with industry standards. This includes regular cleaning and monitoring of critical environments and equipment

It is important to note that the cleaning process may vary depending on the specific requirements of the facility and the materials being used. It is also essential to follow all safety and compliance standards and to work with experienced professionals to ensure that the cleaning process is performed safely and effectively.
