I took the PTCB and didn't do too well. One of my question was regarding how to clean a horizontal hood? How is that done?

Cleaning Laminar Flow hood
by: Anonymous

Use 70% isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth. Start at the back of the hood (closest to the hepa filter) and wipe the length of the surface(left to right). About half way through stop and get a new cloth. Also clean the ceiling and the sides of the hood. Hope this helps!

You never want to get the HEPA filter wet. You clean the whole hood with sterile water 1st. sides, top, then bottom last. then same procedure with alcohol.
