Question
Is there an obligation to check and eliminate crumbs?
Answer
Any place where chametz is brought requires checking. The checking applies even to crumbs, but if the crumbs are dirty, there is no obligation to eliminate or check them. Therefore, if it has been checked and no pieces of chametz are found, one can use a cleaning agent to dirty the remaining crumbs, and then there is no obligation to eliminate them.
