Organic cleaning is usually the same as normal cleaning but with a final rinse of potable water so you can use something like ATP swabs to check the cleaning and test the final rinse water for likely residual chemicals by taste/pH/chlorine etc. or whatever sanitiser you use.

Best to use an organic-approved sanitizer like peracetic acid, depending on your surfaces.  I agree with Tony to have a clean water rinse in any case. Check the NOP approved list.  Previously we tried using a quat test strip to detect presence, but it was not sufficiently sensitive enough to satisfy our organic certifying agency.

Go for PH test, you will see the difference.
