Five scrubbing tools were tested.  A total of fifteen laminate coupons were used, three per tool.  The initial weights of the coupons were recorded.  The coupons were then soiled with Roberts Vinyl Composition Floor Adhesive by heating the adhesive with a heat gun for 5 seconds, and then scraping the melted adhesive onto the center of the coupons.  The dirty weights of the coupons were then recorded.  Each coupon was cleaned with the correct scrubbing tool with Krud Kutter until all of the adhesive was removed. Each coupon received 2 sprays of the Krud Kutter and each tool received 2 sprays of the Krud Kutter, meaning that for each coupon about 3 ml of the cleaning agent was used. The time it took for all of the adhesive to be removed was recorded.
