Pre-weighed, glass, and chrome coupons were coated with SCL Soil #2 (glass soap scum) which was made of water 51.5%, hair gel 25.6%, Toothpaste 10.4%, Shaving Cream 5.3%, Hair Spray 3.7% and Spray Deodorant 3.5% using a hand held swab and allowed to dry for 24 hours at room temperature. The contaminated coupons were weighed again to determine the amount of soil added.

Three coupons were placed into a Gardner Straight Line Washability unit. A Wypall L60 reinforced wipe was attached to the cleaning sled and soaked with 1 spray of cleaning solutions. Each coupon was sprayed 1 time with the same cleaning solution. The solution was allowed to penetrate for 30 seconds followed by cleaning in the SLW unit for 5 cycles (~10 seconds). Coupons were left to dry overnight before final weights and efficiencies were recorded.

Visual observations were made on the coupons for spotting and filming following the general guidelines set forth in the CSPA DCC 09A. Filming is best recognized as “haziness” or overall “milkiness”, while streaking is best identified as dried droplets or “spotting”, usually found strung together into thin white lines. Each coupon was evaluated separately for filming and streaking, according to a scale of “1” to “7” with:

Filming Streaking
7 = high filming 7 = high streaking (poor performance)
1 = no visible filming 1 = no visible streaking (excellent performance)
