Both principles indeed apply to all sorts of jobs!
Cleaning as you go also reduces variability and total time spent. Cleaning naturally consumes short spans of otherwise-useless idle time between tasks. It also enables pipelining of multiple jobs. I also prefer to clean up before eating, and that usually takes just enough time for the meal to cool down to the right temperature if I was cleaning as I go.
