Isn't biofilm a problem in general? From what I've heard, Mir was covered in grime at the end and the ISS isn't looking much better now.

The ISS has a very strict cleaning regime. Essentially every work minute not spent on research or maintenance is for cleaning. I think to remember that they even have one day a week when all they do is clean.
