Trial #1
To evaluate the odor removal of Funk Away products on towels with spoiled milk.
Spoiled milk was spread evenly onto 10 individual cotton towels and allowed to soak in. 2 towels were set aside as control towels while 2 towels were used for each of the four cleaners. Each panelist was asked to describe spoiled milk and to rank the level of intensity of the malodor; from 1 being no malodor to 5 being high malodor levels. Following initial ratings, the towels were subjected to rounds of cleaning agent treatment, one treatment cycle consists of 2 sprays and each panelist was used to assess malodor levels after each cycle of treatment. Treatments of the contaminated towels were stopped after three treatment cycles. The towels were then allowed to age overnight, and the malodor rating was taken the following day. The towels were subject to one last treatment cycle before the final set of malodor ratings were performed. An effective cleaner will have a malodor level of under 2 after the 3rd round of treatment.
