Publisher Summary Cleaning is the removal of “soil” from surfaces and is important in all working and living environments. Soil can be described as “matter out of place” and might be of an organic or inorganic nature, with or without associated microorganisms. In general terms, the word “soil” has become synonymous with dirt. Successful cleaning in the food industry is important for other reasons, including financial ones. Inadequate cleaning can impair equipment performance, reducing efficiency. With the advent of rapid techniques, the introduction of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point [“HACCP”], allergen concerns and other factors, the importance and need to assess cleanliness has changed over the years. This has coincided with the emergence of a number of pathogens with a low minimum infectious dose. It is therefore likely that assessing cleanliness will become more important and evolve to meet changing requirements in the tests that are used, how they can be integrated into a holistic approach, and the results in relation to legislation, reference values, or other needs.
