Gravimetric
Three coupons of each substrate were used per cleaning product, for a total of 24 coupons. Each coupon was weighed using a gravimetric balance and had their weights recorded. Each coupon was then soiled with about 0.5 grams of GS 34 maintenance soil by using a swab to administer the contaminant down the center of the coupons. The contaminated coupons were then left to dry for 24 hours. After the 24 hour drying period, each coupon was weighed again, and had their 'dirty weights' recorded. The coupons were then cleaned with their respective cleaning product using the Straight Line Washability Unit (or SLW) to ensure a standard pressure is applied to each coupon while being manually wiped. Two sprays of the correct cleaner was applied to a wypall that is attached to the cleaning sled of the SLW to wipe the soil away and two sprays were applied directly to each coupon (meaning each coupon was cleaned with about 2.5 ml of cleaning chemistry). The SLW unit was run for 20 cycles (20 back and forth motions) for each coupon. Once cleaned, the coupons were allowed to air dry before having their final weights recorded.
All products tested performed comparatively and are highly effective in removing GS34 maintenance soil from Chrome, Stainless Steel, and General Steel.
