Trial Number 1

Trial Purpose:

To evaluate four supplied products for all purpose cleaning

Date Run:

10/28/2013

Experiment Procedure:

120 grams of sand was spread across 40 square feet of floor tile (3 grams per tile). The mop was soaked and wringed for 10 seconds each. The Qleeno was operated on lowest water output and highest water suction. The remaining soil was then collected and weighed.

Methods Evaluated: Manual Mop; Qleeno

Trial Results:

The dry time for the Qleeno floor testing was approx. 5 minutes, while the dry time for the mop was approximately 1 hour. Visually, the Qleeno looked much cleaner than the mopping, as mopping left behind large spots of soil.

Success Rating:

Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.

Conclusion:

Both methods worked with essentially the same efficiency. The dry time for the Qleeno floor testing was approx. 5 minutes, while the dry time for the mop was approximately 1 hour. Visually, the Qleeno looked much cleaner than the mopping, as mopping left behind large spots of soil.
