Cleaning of the Hazardous Sterile Compounding Room

We are currently in the process of changing to having our pharmacy staff clean our compounding suites instead of EVS and I am re-writing the standards of operations surrounding this process. When cleaning the hazardous room (just the daily floor cleaning do you have staff fully gown up with chemotherapy gowns/gloves or do they just wear the regular disposable clean room gown and gloves?

Thank you!
