Trial Number 2

The supplied cleaning products was used at full strength and a second industry standard product was diluted to vendor recommended concentration for all purpose cleaning (3.125%).

Preweighed chrome and glass coupons were coated with SSL Soil 2 (Glass soap scum: Colgate Regular shaving cream 5.3%, Arid Extra Extra Spray Deodorant 3.5%, Suave Naturals Flexible Hold hair spray 3.7%, Aleeda Texurizing hair gel 25.6% Colgate Total toothpaste 10.4%, Water 51.5%) by pump spraying the mix. The soil was allowed to dry for 24 hours at room temperature. The contaminated coupons were weighed again to determine the amount of soil added.

Three coupons were placed into a Gardner Straight Line Washability unit. A Kimberly-Clark Wypal reinforced paper towel was attached to the cleaning sled and soaked with 5-7 sprays of cleaning solutions. Each coupon was sprayed 7-10 times with the same cleaning solution. The cleaning unit was run for 5 cycles (~9 seconds). At the end of the cleaning, coupons were wiped once with a dry paper towel. Final weights were recorded, efficiencies were calculated and recorded.

The supplied product removed over 85% of the glass soap scum using manual wiping. All three products performed comparably to the selected industry standard product. The table lists the substrate cleaned, the amount of soil added, the amount remaining and the efficiency for each coupon cleaned.

Cleaner/Substrate

The submitted product had an overall average efficiency greater than 85% and would be considered effective based on the SSL testing methodology.
