Meta Description: Learn how to integrate cleanroom wipes, sticky mats, and ESD fabrics into a single contamination-control strategy for improved product quality and regulatory compliance.

Introduction
Contamination control is multidimensional. Using cleanroom wipes, sticky mats, and antistatic ESD fabrics together forms a layered defense—addressing particles, floor-borne contamination, and electrostatic risks that could damage products or disrupt processes.
Layered Controls: Where Each Product Fits
Sticky Mats: First barrier at entrances—trap coarse particulate from shoes and wheels.
ESD Fabrics: Create a stable, dissipative environment preventing electrostatic damage during handling and assembly.
Cleanroom Wipes: Targeted surface cleaning to remove residues and fine particles that mats can’t capture.
Implementing an Integrated SOP
Define a facility map indicating mat locations, gowning zones, and wipe stations. Train staff on sequence-of-use: peel mat layers, gown in ESD garments, and use cleanroom wipes with approved solvents in single-pass motions. Record compliance and particulate metrics.
Metrics and Continuous Improvement
Monitor airborne particle counts, surface NVR, and ESD events. Use this data to optimize mat placement, choose higher-performing wipes, or select ESD fabrics with better wash durability. Suppliers who provide technical support and testing data are valuable partners.
Conclusion
A holistic approach using sticky mats, ESD fabrics, and cleanroom wipes reduces contamination risks across entry points, operations, and product handling. For European and North American manufacturers, this integrated strategy enhances product reliability and regulatory readiness.
