According to the method for purifying and reforming a PFA or FEP molded article of the present invention, not only the amount of eluted fluorine ions but also the total amount of eluted organic carbon can be reduced. In addition, since the contact angle with water is increased, the liquid wettability is improved, and the elution of metal impurities in the molded body can be suppressed. Therefore, it is useful as various molded articles in a wet process in the semiconductor field which requires an extremely high clean environment in which use of PFA or FEP which is melt-moldable is difficult. Further, the product life of the PFA and FEP molded products can be extended.
