Trial Purpose:

To evaluate the effectiveness of Sims all-purpose cleaner using Huckers soil on ceramic, stainless steel, and plastic substrates.

Date Run:

06/02/2021

Experiment Procedure:

This procedure followed the All-Purpose GS 37 procedure. Three coupons for each substrate per cleaner were selected and weighed for initial weights. The coupons were then soiled with Huckers soil that was previously made and were left to dry for two hours. After the two hours, the dirty weights were recorded for each coupon. The coupons were then placed in the Straight Line Washability (SLW) unit, three at a time with the same substrate. The Kimberly-Clark Wypall was attached to the cleaning sled and was sprayed twice, each coupon was also sprayed twice with the appropriate cleaner. The SLW unit was run for 20 cycles, and the coupons were removed from the unit and placed on a paper towel to dry overnight. After they were completely dry, the clean weights were recorded.

Cleaners Used:

Sims All-Purpose
Formula 409

Trial Results:

Both cleaners were very effective for the removal of Huckers soil on all three substrates. Both cleaners had above 95% effectiveness for ceramic and stainless steel and both had about 93% effectiveness for plastic. Visually the coupons were clean after the first few wipes on the SLW unit but were still run for the full 20 cycles. Formula 409 had an average above 100% probably due to the coupon having left over soil from a previous test on it during the initial weights or may be due to a scaling error.
