Trial Purpose:
To test the efficiency of Clorox Bathroom spray on the removal of Huckers soil from ceramic, plastic, and painted steel substrates.
Date Run:
06/07/2021Experiment Procedure:
Initial weights of each substrate (ceramic, plastic, painted metal) were taken and subsequently soiled with 0.5 grams of Huckers Soil. The Huckers soil was allowed to dry for 2 hours before dirty weights of the coupons were taken. Each substrate was manually wiped using the SLW machine with the Clorox Bathroom cleaner. 2 sprays were added to each wipe and coupon. The SLW unit was used for 20 cycles. Final weights were taken an hour after coupons were cleaned.
Trial Results:

Success Rating:
Preliminary compatibility tests on substrate coupons encouraging for at least one cleaning chemistry. More in-depth laboratory testing necessary.Conclusion:
Overall, this product cleaned the Huckers soil, bathroom soil, and glass soil with an overall removal percentage of 83%. It removed soil from the plastic substrate the best with an 85% removal rating. The product itself passes the level in which a product needs to perform as a cleaner which is above an 80% removal rating.
