Hmmm .... I could really use some "walk-in" clean rooms. That would save all the faffing about with double-gowning, surgical masks, sterile gloves, alcohol gel and IPA sprays that I normally go through when I have to enter the clean-rooms where I work. :-) (but the procedures exist for a very very good reason) “I always think those clean rooms look like restaurant walk-in coolers.”

I can say with absolutely no reservations that you can in no way compare a resturant walkin cooler with anything that has the word "clean" in it. They are filthy and disgusting. I'm amazed that people don't die on a daily basis eating food served in resturants. I’m a cook.
