Abstract

PURPOSE:To clean an instrument without using a large amount of a high puriy chemical agent and without generating the counter contamination due to the impurity in the chemical agent by gasifying an acid type chemical agent in a hermetically closed container and exposing the instrument to the gasified cleaning gas to clean the same. CONSTITUTION:An instrument 8 composed of an acid-resistant resin to be cleaned is received in a Teflon hermetically closed container 1 and a Teflon chemical agent container 5 having an acid type chemical agent 7 stored therein is provided in the hermetically closed container 1 at a position not coming into contact with the instrument 8. Further, the chemical agent 7 is heated by a heater 6 to form cleaning gas for cleaning the instrument 8. As a result, it is unnecessary to use a large amount of a high purity chemical agent and the cost of the chemical agent can be suppressed low. Further, there is no possibility of the counter-contamination of the instrument due to the impurity contained in the chemical agent. Since the instrument does not come into contact with the chemical agent in the hermetically closed container when the instrument is taken in and taken out of the hermetically closed container, this apparatus is safe.
