Trial Purpose:
To evaluate supplied products for floor cleaning
Date Run:
07/30/2013Experiment Procedure:
Initial testing was conducted using 120 grams of sand. The soil 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 approx. 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 set-up time was faster with the Qleeno system.
