A system for cleaning a substrate includes a carrier and a cleaning station. The carrier is capable of holding the substrate and is movably coupled to a pair of guide tracks extending a length of the system. The cleaning station includes a force applicator, a gate and a dispenser. The force applicator has an applicator length and is coupled to the cleaning station, is rotatable and is adjustable to a first height off the surface of the carrier during cleaning. The gate is a hollow structure disposed at a trailing edge of the force applicator. The gate is set to a height off the carrier surface that is less than or equal to the first height. The gate includes a gate length that at least spans the applicator length. The dispenser is disposed at a leading edge of the force applicator and is configured to supply cleaning solution during cleaning.
