Trial #2
To determine the color removal from a cloth that has been saturated with the foam cleaner.
There are no related objects.
Four different types of cloths were saturated with the cleaning foams. These were allowed to sit for 15 minutes to soak in the foam. After 15 minutes, each set of colored fabric was covered in a paper towel and patted down to determine color leakage. These paper towels underwent a gloss meter testing to determine how close the towels were to the initial value using the formula FINAL/INITIAL *100%.
Chemistries Evaluated: Resolve, SRC;
Only 2 of the cloth types, the red stripped and the solid brown, had any visual color absorption from the cloth. Our visual analysis could not effectively differentiate between the two types of staining, resulting in the need for a gloss-based analysis. The other two cloths did not undergo a gloss analysis.

Both products exhibited a similar level of carpet color removal. Branbuzz demonstrated a better level of color compatibility when compared to the Resolve cleaner.
