Abstract: An apparatus and method for cleaning a glass substrate is disclosed, the apparatus including a shroud assembly arranged along a conveyance path of a glass substrate such that an opening of shroud portion of the shroud assembly is adjacent the glass substrate. A nozzle assembly contained within a hollow interior space of the shroud assembly rotates while directing a jet of gas at the glass substrate, dislodging particulate. A vacuum is applied to a second interior hollow space defined by a skirt portion extending around the shroud, thereby removing the dislodged particulate. A second vacuum is applied to a back portion of the shroud to remove particulate accumulated in the shroud. The apparatus may further include a gas knife arranged adjacent the shroud assembly and a vacuum channel arranged below the shroud assembly.
