Between audit findings, quality control issues, or hitting limitations due to cleaning downtime, your CIP systems, and how you clean them, are more important than ever.
That’s why it’s always a wise choice to review your current cleaning regime, risk assessments and validation processes to see where there’s an opportunity to improve.
While cleaning issues can have far reaching impacts to your bottom line and your brand, there are steps and controls you can take to help mitigate this from happening. One specific area is the cleaning process used for your critical processing equipment. Consider these key points:
- Audit findings related to cleaning and cleaning validation are growing
- Improving your cleaning process provides a key opportunity to expanding manufacturing capacity, while also helping prepare better for regulatory inspections.
Applying cleaning best practices from our GTC team can help pharmaceutical companies to improve their production goals, and reduce changeover times. Additionally, reviewing cleaning procedures periodically is key for cleaning efficiency. See an example of how this was achieved in our Granulator Application Optimization Case Study.

Making Efficiency Easier — Ecolab can help
A Trusted Technical Partner To Ease Validation and Guide Cleaning Optimization
Deep Regulatory Insights
Ecolab experts bring a full understanding of the latest regulatory requirements, leaning on our deep relationships with regulatory agencies to give inside perspective on regulatory trends. We can help you interpret how new standards and expectations impact your production operations, help you build a compliant CIP/COP program, and support your constant audit-readiness.
Unmatched Validation Support
Validation is the biggest and most time- and cost-intensive hurdle. Fortunately, Ecolab has done extensive cleanability studies in the pharma industry, and can provide robust data to immediately support and streamline evidence-based validation. We’re also ready with full laboratory capabilities to conduct any additional cleanability studies needed to build out an evidence-based risk assessment.
Science-Based Consultative Expertise
Ecolab experts bring a science-based understanding of the complex chemistries that impact cleanability, across all TACT factors. We’re ready to apply our expertise to quickly identify inefficiencies in your cleaning SOPs — and indicate simple changes to drive significant improvements in cleaning effectiveness, consistency and efficiency.
Innovative Chemistry and Broad Product Portfolio
Just as a one-size-fits-all cleaning process doesn’t work, one-size-fits-all cleaning agents mean you’re either overcleaning or undercleaning — and both represent inefficiencies. Ecolab provides an industry-leading product portfolio, targeting our innovative chemistries to solve your specific cleaning challenges — and help you realize significant improvements in cleaning reliability, consistency and efficiency.
