Three pre-weighed copper coupons were used for each cleaner. The coupons were soiled halfway on one side using a hand-held swab before dirty weights were recorded. Dilutions and temperature for each cleaner was based on vendor recommendations. Coupons were immersed three at a time for 15 minutes, and visual observations were recorded every five minutes. Cleaned coupons were rinsed in heated (95o F) tap water for five minutes, air dried for five minutes with a heat gun, and then final weights were recorded.
