Four VCT tiles were cleaned and applied with coating again under 37 degrees Celsius for 2 days. The VCT tiles were cleaned using the Abrasion Tester. A pad was emerged into a 12.5% dilution of Meteor Floor Strip cleaner previous to cleaning of the VCT tile for at least 1 minute. On the manual wipe, a constant pressure was applied on top of the silver cart as the machine is running. The first set of cycle on each VCT tile coupon is set to 1 cycle with the pad on the apparatus for manual wipe. After 1 cycle; each tile was manually cleaned with 50 increment wipes. After each 50 increments, a visual analysis was done on the tile. Each manual wash on the tile is completed after 200 manual wash cycles.
