How to Buy Cleanroom Supplies

A clean room is a highly controlled environment. Whether it is being used for the manufacture of electronics or for healthcare research, it is essential that it be properly outfitted. Buying cleanroom supplies means finding the right furnishings, cleaning materials, and air filters to keep the cleanroom free from contamination.

Cleaning Supplies

The specific cleaning supplies for any individual facility will depend on the aim of the particular cleanroom. It is important to choose cleaning supplies that will not further contaminate the area. The facility's environmental monitoring report can help to determine what disinfectants and cleaning solutions should be used, as well as how often cleaning should take place. For a facility that employs an outside cleaning service, it is essential to ensure those contractors are aware of the sensitive nature of the cleanroom and only use approved supplies to clean.

Cleanroom cleaning supplies are readily available from cleanroom vendors and may include mops, wipes, approved cleaning detergents, and vacuums. Be sure to check with any infection control or cleanroom monitoring personnel before purchasing cleanroom supplies.

Air Filtration

Keeping the air in the cleanroom free from contamination is just as important as keeping surfaces clean. This is done through the use of HEPA filtration. HEPA air filters are highly effective at keeping cleanrooms free from contamination when they are installed and maintained properly.

HEPA filtration should be built into a cleanroom from the start. However, even effective filtration does not last forever and regular maintenance and filter replacement will need to occur. Ideally, a cleanroom will be constructed so that workers can access the HEPA system without actually entering the room itself and possibly contaminating it. Replacement HEPA filters should be purchased to fit the filtration system since any type of misalignment can be a major issue. HEPA filters, on average, should be replaced every 5 to 7 years but in cleanrooms is it important the staff monitor filter performance and change whenever it is necessary, as according to the room protocols.

Consider Temporary Options

Not every facility has a need for a permanent cleanroom. In hospitals and healthcare facilities where isolation and infection control are critical but not always needed, temporary cleanroom supplies are an option. These may include a portable AnteRoom construction that allows a facility to seal off one room for a span of time and open it back up for general use easily, while still providing air filtration.


Just as it is when constructing a cleanroom, buying cleanroom supplies should revolve only around the purpose of the cleanroom and in keeping it completely free from contamination. With strict procedures in place and readily accessible by all required personnel, it is possible to keep a cleanroom functioning smoothly.
