Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for documenting and/or quantifying the inspection of the cleanliness of a surface. The documenting is attained through the capture of an image of the surface and uploading said image along with metadata about the image to a place of secure storage such as a company internal server or a web server. The quantification is attained through image analysis of the image, with or without enhancements such as UV light, to derive a value for the amount of residue remaining on the surface. This quantification can be performed on a device and sent to a server, or performed on the server itself after the image has been sent. In all cases, the inspection of cleanliness is documented with or without quantification.
