Choosing cleaning solution for pharmaceutical plant

I understood that products are not of the sterile type

Regarding cleaning agents:

Enteric coated tablets will need sodium bicarbonate solution for cleaning coating equipment

Creams will definitely need detergent e.g neutral soap for cleaning production equipment

Tablet compression machines will need undiluted isopropyl alcohol for cleaning punches , dies and Turret

Detergent e.g. soap is needed in cleaning room surfaces , also Isopropyl alcohol 70% is needed

Regarding disinfectants:

For product equipment: Isopropyl alcohol 70% is suitable

For room surfaces: monthly rotation of 2 water based disinfectants of different types e.g QAC , Chlorine based disinfectants (e.g. troclosene sodium) and H2O2/Peracetic acid and Periodic application of sporicidal e.g. Chlorine based sporicidal (e.g. troclosene sodium) or H2O2/Peracetic acid every 3 or 6 months
It is preferred that mentioned disinfectants and sporicidals contain surfactant in its composition i.e. one step disinfectant (sporicidal) cleaner
