Trial #1
To evaluate four supplied products for all purpose cleaning
120 grams of sand was spread across 40 square feet of floor tile (3 grams per tile). The mop was soaked and wringed for 10 seconds each. The Qleeno was operated on lowest water output and highest water suction. The remaining soil was then collected and weighed.
Methods Evaluated: Manual Mop; Qleeno
The dry time for the Qleeno floor testing was approx. 5 minutes, while the dry time for the mop was approximately 1 hour. Visually, the Qleeno looked much cleaner than the mopping, as mopping left behind large spots of soil.

Both methods worked with essentially the same efficiency. The dry time for the Qleeno floor testing was approx. 5 minutes, while the dry time for the mop was approximately 1 hour. Visually, the Qleeno looked much cleaner than the mopping, as mopping left behind large spots of soil.
