The effectiveness of aqueous surfactant solution to remove particulate contaminants and to maintain low count particle in rubber cleanroom gloves, natural rubber latex gloves and nitrile rubbers gloves, was evaluated using an automatic glove cleaning machine. Non-ozone-depleting cleaners, comprising 70% aqueous isopropyl alcohol and aqueous surfactant solution, were found to be successful cleaners. However, aqueous surfactant solutions were preferred because of their nonflammability and non-air polluting properties. Using plain water proved ineffective.
