ABSTRACT:
In order to perform scrub cleaning of a substrate, two different scrub heads31and32are employed. The scrub head31is superior to the scrub head32in terms of a capability of removing contamination. The scrub head32has a low level of adhesion to the contamination as compared with the scrub head31. The scrub heads31and32are moved such that the scrub head32follows the scrub head31. Consequently, it is possible to clean the substrate without re-applying contamination, which has been once removed from a surface of the substrate, to the surface of the substrate again.
