Abstract

A cleaning method for cleaning, an object to be, processed. The object is cleaned by immersing the object into a cleaning liquid within a processing tank. The cleaning method includes the steps of: detecting the temperature of the cleaning liquid in which the object to be processed is immersed or to be immersed, and generating a corresponding temperature signal; determining an immersion time for the immersion of the object in the cleaning liquid, based on the temperature signal; and immersing the object to be processed in the cleaning liquid, for the immersion time.
