• Clean and disinfect floors, walls, doors, windows, ceilings, work surfaces, carts, fixtures, and equipment exteriors using approved methods and tools. Perform product-contact equipment cleaning only when specifically trained, qualified, and authorized.
• Prepare, label, handle, use, and store approved cleaning agents and disinfectants in accordance with site procedures, including required dilution/concentration, lot or preparation information, expiration/use-by periods, contact/wet times, and applicable disinfectant rotation or sporicidal programs.
• Use designated cleanroom supplies, mops, wipes, and cleaning equipment while maintaining separation between areas to prevent cross-contamination.
• Follow established cleaning patterns and sequences (for example, clean-to-less-clean and top-to-bottom, when required by procedure), material-transfer practices, room status controls, and personnel-flow restrictions.
• Complete required gowning training and qualification before entering designated controlled areas; maintain proper gowning, hygiene, and cleanroom behavior.
• Complete cleaning logs, room/equipment records, checklists, and electronic entries accurately, legibly, contemporaneously, and completely in accordance with GDP requirements. Make corrections only by approved methods.

• Demonstrate dependable attendance, ownership of assigned areas, teamwork, and care for product quality and patient safety.
