Apparatus (20) for cleaning carriers used to hold semiconductor wafers, substrates, data disks, flat panel displays and similar containers used in applications highly sensitive to contamination. The apparatus has a processing bowl (21) with entrance and exit ports (34, 36) through which carriers are installed and removed from processing chamber (21). Rotor (70) rotates within the processing chamber. Rotor (70) includes a rotor cage (71) which mounts detachable wafer carrier supports (214). Filtered, heated air is passed through the process chamber for drying. Cleaning liquid and additional drying gas can be supplied through manifolds (120, 110) positioned inside and outside rotor cage (71).
