Performance Test

Ten ceramics plates were soiled with 1/2 of DCC-18 food soil per plate. Six plates were cleaned with Elcove Dish Soap and four plates were cleaned with Seventh Generation Power Plus Foaming Dish Spray. Each cleaner was either sprayed or pumped onto a sponge according to the SOP (about 2 grams of product per sponge) and the plates were scrubbed with the sponge. The plates were rinsed with tap water and left to air dry. Water hardiness was measured and recorded. Visual observations were taken after the plates were done air drying. 

Results
Product Number of plates Water hardiness Observations
A (Elcove) 6 10 ppm/mg/l, 1gpg Easier to clean, had more foam generated on soap surface even after halfway
B (7th generation) 4 10 ppm/mg/l, 1gpg Very low foam to begin with after first dish, went away after 4 dishes

The Elcove Dish Soap performed better than the Seventh Generation Power Plus Dish Spray.
