Three coupons of each substrate (ceramic, chrome and plastic) were collected and initial weights were taken. Bathroom soil was applied to each coupon and allowed to air dry for 24 hours. After the 24 hour dry time, the weights of the newly contaminated coupons were measured. All coupons were placed into a Straight-Line Washability (SLW) machine. A KC Wypall cleaning cloth was attached to the cleaning block used for the test. The Wypall cloth and all coupons received 2 sprays of the Ever Spring Cleaner and the SLW machine was run for 20 repetitions, simulating 20 manual wipes. Once cleaning concluded, the cleaned coupons were allowed to air dry for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the weights of the cleaned coupons were measured. 

The Ever Spring cleaner was somewhat effective for the removal of bathroom soil on ceramic leaving minimal residue behind. It was 85% effective on plastic and performed worst on chrome at 73% effectiveness.
