#7: Cleaning for Peach (Part 6)

1. In addition to cleaning one’s home, one must also clean and check for chametz in the workplace the last day one is there before Pesach. The reason is that, as discussed previously, one may not own chametz on Pesach, even if it is located in a place one will not use during the festival (Piskei Teshuvot 433 and other contemporary poskim).
2. When cleaning for chametz, one easy way to ensure any remaining chametz is not edible even according to those who require cleaning small crumbs is to use a cleaning solution or cleaning spray and make sure it comes in contact with every part of the surface. This renders any potential crumbs inedible, even if one does not actually dispose of them.
