Trial Number 2

Client Number 526

Project Number 1

Trial Purpose:

Testing the efficacy of MPlus to 7th Generation All Purpose for removing Hucker's Soil from ceramic, plastic, and painted metal.

Date Run:

01/08/2025

Experiment Procedure:

Nine pre-weighed coupons per cleaner (three ceramic, three plastic, and three painted metal) were soiled with 0.5 grams of Hucker's Soil using a handheld swab and air-dried for 24 hours at room temperature (68°F). The contaminated coupons were weighed after 24 hours to determine the contaminated (cont.) weight. Three coupons of the same substrate were placed onto the Straight Line Washing (SLW) Unit with Wypall X60 attached to the cleaning sled. The Wypall X60 reinforced wipe and each coupon on the SLW unit were treated with three sprays each before running the SLW unit for 20 cycles (30 seconds). At the end of the cleaning cycle, the coupons were air-dried overnight before the final weights were recorded.

Success Rating:

Results successful using TACT (time, agitation, concentration, and temperature, as well as rinsing and drying) and/or other cleaning chemistries examined.

Conclusion:

MPlus was effective overall at removing Hucker's Soil from various substrates and performed similarly to 7th Generation All Purpose cleaner.
