Trial Number 0

Trial Purpose:

To test the efficacy of the Brazilian Women's Group's original Fantastic DIY All-Purpose Cleaner against Fabuloso All-Purpose, Dr. Bronner's All-Purpose Dilution, and TURI's reformulation of the Fantastic all-purpose cleaner

Date Run:

06/16/2025

Experiment Procedure:

Twenty-seven pre-weighed coupons, three per substrate per cleaner, were contaminated with 0.5 g of DCC-17 grease soil. Coupons dried at room temperature (68°F) for 24 hours before their dirty weights were recorded. Three coupons of the same substrate were placed in a Single Line Washing Unit (SLW) with a Wypall X60 wipe attached to the cleaning sled. The wipe and coupons were sprayed three times with the cleaner and soaked for 30 seconds. The SLW was then run for 20 cleaning cycles (30 seconds of manual cleaning). Coupons dried overnight at room temperature before final weights were recorded.
