Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods for cleaning aerospace components having oxidation, corrosion, contaminants, and/or other degradations. In one or more embodiments, a cleaning method includes positioning the aerospace component into a processing region of a processing chamber, introducing hydrogen gas into the processing region, maintaining the processing region at a pressure of about 100 mTorr to about 5,000 mTorr, and heating the aerospace component at a temperature of about 500° C. to about 1,200° C. for about 0.5 hours to about 24 hours to produce a cleaned surface on the aerospace component. In other embodiments, a cleaning method includes exposing the aerospace component to ozone while maintaining the aerospace component at a temperature of about 15° C. to about 500° C. for 0.25 hours to about 24 hours to produce a cleaned surface on the aerospace component.
