Hello CHAS,

I had one of my researchers ask what the best process is for cleaning a fume hood and while I have experience doing it, I’m hoping the DCHAS community can help. Do you have any resources for a comprehensive SOP for fume hood cleaning? Also, I remember having a third party company come and clean the fume hoods and they used a spray foam but I don’t remember what the product was so if anyone has any suggestions that way as well, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
