Wiping protocol: IEST suggests for a left-to-right or right-to-left wipe in a cleanroom. But given the many contamination circumstances in a cleanroom, should consideration be taken for other methods?
With a horizontal laminar flow hood, one should wipe back to front (i.e., clean to dirty). Or in a wet contaminant situation, one would wipe in the direction of dry to wet. Some situations could simply call for the operator to make the call (i.e., a wet contamination in the back of a laminar flow hood).

Do you always follow the right-to-left (or vice versa) method in your cleanroom? Do you use your best judgment and/or suggest your operators do the same? In which case, do they have the tools to make the best decision?
