Timing

A large glass window was cleaned using Green Works Glass Cleaner from Clorox to ensure uniform clean surface. Once dry each of the test aerosol products were sprayed for 1-2 seconds onto the surface. A timer was started to determine the time the cleaner took to travel 1 foot (30 cm). A second observation was made to see how much movement was achieved for the products for a total of 2 minute. At the end of 2 minutes the distance traveled by the product was recorded.

For products that need more than 1 minute to travel the 30 cm, time will be recorded as greater than 2 minutes and receive a score of excellent. For products that run down the entire length of the window (4 feet) in less than the 2 minutes, the distance will be recorded as greater than 4 feet and will receive a score of poor.
