Forming a successful partnership with a technical cleaning company lets you better concentrate on your company’s core competencies. Benefits can be financial and result in increased workplace productivity and quality.
1. Cost vs. Value
Most business decisions are ultimately cost-based and outsourcing cleanroom cleaning is no different. You need to weigh up what the in-house costs would be and compare them to the services covered by an outside provider’s proposal. Outsourcing cleaning has these advantages:
- Reduced staff overhead: Eliminate cost needed to train cleaners or hire extra labour for the big, less frequent cleans.
- No equipment needed: Expert cleaners have their own specialised equipment and cleaning agents.
- Reduce downtime: Professional cleaners are efficient therefore reducing the time needed to stop operation temporarily for a clean.
Once you approve a quotation, you just factor the cost of technical cleaning into the budget, issue a purchase order, and provide your SOPs to a specialist cleanroom cleaning company.

2. Improved Morale
No one wants to do the cleaning and people who are not enthusiastic about a task do not usually give it their best effort.
- Focus on core business: When you outsource your cleaning, your employees can focus on their primary roles.
- Reduce risk of contamination: Trained technical cleaners are experienced and are less likely to compromise the cleanroom environment.
3. Expertise & Quality Control

- Trained staff: Expert cleaning companies invest a lot of resources training staff to work in technical conditions.
- Fresh eyes: Bringing in an independent set of eyes is an excellent time to review your own procedures.
- Documentation: Professional technical cleaners document the facts (room sizes, cleanliness classes, equipment, disinfection requirements, gowning protocols). Include these in your documentation and/or SOP.
- Consistent result: Using professionally trained technical cleaners guarantees a more uniform result by reducing cleaner-to-cleaner variability. The cleaning gets done by people whose sole job is cleaning, in a methodical way, based on your SOPs.
- Versatile & capable: Depending on the job, specialist cleaners can be engaged on a post-construction, pre-validation, routine and project basis. Specialist cleaners are also flexible.
