There are many industries that require numerous types of advanced cleaning techniques. From the aerospace industry to the health care field, certain materials and tools must be cleaned with exacting, advanced cleaning techniques. Stainless steel lab equipment may need to be treated and cleansed on a regular basis and fuel lines often need to be cleaned to ensure that good product flow is maintained. For these jobs and more, precision cleaning companies are relied on due not only to their expertise but because of the unique tools and equipment that is needed to undertake these advanced cleaning processes. Several types of advanced cleaning exist, and some are more complex than others.

Industrial pipelines of all types will likely need to be flushed or cleaned from time to time. Oil or gas pipelines along with other types that carry paint, toiletries, and chemicals will need to be cleaned and inspected periodically. Pipeline pigging is the process normally used to handle this task. During the process, a pipeline inspection gauge, or 'pig', is used. The pig is inserted into the system at a 'pig launcher' and is then pushed through the line by the pressure inside, eventually being retrieved by a 'pig catcher' and removed from the system. This process ensures that the flow of the product within the pipe maintains optimal levels.

Many materials used in laboratory or medical settings are constructed of high grade stainless steel. Nevertheless, these materials can still develop chemical buildups or suffer from rust if not cleaned and maintained properly. Passivation is the process of coating a metal with a passive layer of oxide that doesn't react to the air. It resists corrosion by shielding the metal that has been treated. Different methods are used to treat different types of metal, and the tools needed can be expensive and the process itself complex. All materials will need to undergo the treatment regularly in order to remain in high quality.

Oxygen cleaning is commonly used to help products to operate in or help contain an oxygen rich environment by removing any contaminants through a complex chemical process. Both inorganic and organic contaminants are eliminated and the process can be completed on a number of materials. Due to the expertise needed to undertake these exacting cleaning processes and the high expenses that accompany the equipment required, most companies hire third party cleaning specialists to handle their advanced cleaning needs. In their skilled hands the processes normally take little time and are completed with the best possible results.
