Abstract
A substrate cleaning method which can determine an appropriate replacement time of a cleaning tool is disclosed. The substrate cleaning method includes: rubbing a cleaning tool against a substrate in the presence of a cleaning liquid while supplying the cleaning liquid onto the substrate to thereby clean a surface of the substrate; acquiring surface data representing surface properties of the cleaning tool in a wet condition by use of an atomic force microscope after performing cleaning of the surfaces of a predetermined number of substrates; and comparing the surface data with a predetermined threshold to thereby determine a replacement time of the cleaning tool.
