Trial Purpose:
To measure amount of cleaner delivered per spray.
Date Run:
01/31/2018Experiment Procedure:
Three clean beakers were pre-weighed. The selected cleaner was then held directly above the opening of the beaker and sprayed into each beaker for 2 seconds. The beakers were then reweighed and delivery amounts were calculated. A second test was conducted while holding the aerosol can upright and tipping the beaker to collect the cleaning product

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 systems delivered cleaner at very similar rates, although Foaming Glass Cleaner Windex delivering slightly more product than the Clorox product did.
