The Importance of Regular Cleaning in Medical Cleanrooms
In the medical & pharmaceutical environment, cleanrooms are not only a mandatory element, but also a critical defense line to control infections, ensure patient safety, and maintain treatment quality. According to WHO, regular cleaning plays a key role in protecting public health.
At the same time, ANH KHANG always emphasizes Cleanroom Design with the goal of optimizing functionality and ensuring safety for all businesses.
All activities in hospitals, from operating rooms, ICUs, laboratories to pharmaceutical production and medical equipment, require strict sterilization standards. To ensure that this process is performed accurately, compliance with the sterilization procedure is necessary. A small mistake in maintaining cleanliness and microbial control can lead to serious consequences, affecting human health and operational performance.
Therefore, establishing a systematic cleaning process, regular monitoring, and implementing a standard checklist will help optimize operational efficiency and extend the lifespan of the cleanroom.
Classification of Medical Areas & Separate Cleaning Standards
Operating Rooms & ICU (Critical Care)
- Requirements: Ensure absolute sterilization, prevent cross-contamination, and control pressure differences
- Cleaning Frequency: Daily & Immediately After Surgery
- Method:
- ✅ Disinfect all surfaces using 70% alcohol, Cloramin B solution
- ✅ Check the HEPA air filtration system, and measure the pressure differences between rooms
- ✅ Limit entry/exit, check healthcare staff protective clothing

Laboratories & Pharmaceutical Production
- Requirements: Control dust particles, mold, residual chemicals
- Cleaning Frequency: Weekly & After Each Testing Batch
- Method:
- ✅ Wipe floors and worktables using 99% IPA alcohol
- ✅ Clean microscopes and testing equipment with antibacterial wipes
- ✅ Regularly replace air filter membranes and check the HVAC system
Medical Cleanroom Cleaning Checklist – Ensuring GMP & ISO Compliance
To assist hospital management and staff in maintaining compliant cleanrooms, below is a cleaning checklist based on the GMP Standards for Medical Cleanrooms. Additionally, applying standards such as ISO 14644 will help improve the effectiveness of the management process.
Cleaning Items & Frequency of Execution
Item | Cleaning Frequency | Method |
Floor, wall, and ceiling surfaces | Daily | Wipe with 70% alcohol & specialized solution |
Medical equipment (testing machines, X-ray, biological safety cabinets) | Weekly & after each use | Use antibacterial wipes, check components |
Air filtration systems (HEPA, HVAC) | Monthly | Check pressure, replace filter membranes if necessary |
Healthcare staff protective gear | Before & after each shift | Inspect and replace if necessary |
Periodic disinfection of the entire room | Quarterly | H2O2 misting or UV-C |
In addition, applying modern technology in air control plays an important role. Businesses should consider implementing Air Quality Testing Technology to ensure that dust and microbial concentrations remain at standard levels.
✅ Note: For high-risk areas (operating rooms, ICUs, pharmaceutical production), it is necessary to check air quality regularly to ensure dust and microbial concentrations are below standard levels.
Implementing a Cleanroom Cleaning Checklist Helps Reduce Infection Risk by 30%
A large hospital in Ho Chi Minh City once experienced a high rate of post-operative infections due to inadequate cleaning of the operating rooms. After implementing a strict cleaning checklist, regular filter membrane replacement, and frequent air quality checks, the results were as follows:
- ✅ Reduced post-operative infection risk by 30%
- ✅ Enhanced hospital reputation & quality standards
- ✅ Protected patient health and optimized maintenance costs
