Trial #1
To evaluate the effectiveness of Shine bathroom spray and comparative products at the removal of bathroom soil on Ceramic, Plastic and Chrome coupons.
Nine pre-weighed coupons, three of each substrate per cleaner, were soiled with bathroom soil (28.6% All-in-one shampoo and conditioner, 21.4% Dry skin lotion, 21.4% Liquid hand soap, 14.3% Liquid body wash, 7.2% Deodorant bar soap, and 7.1% water) and aged for 24 hours at room temperature (68˚F). Dirty weights were recorded before placing three coupons of the same substrate onto the Straight Line Washability (SLW) unit. The cleaner wipe was attached to the SLW sled and cleaned for 20 cycles (equivalent of 30 seconds of manual cleaning). Coupons air dried at room temperature (68 F) overnight before final weights were recorded.
