Client #367

Cleaning Product Manufacturer

Project Number 1

Test Objective:

As a general overview on our product system, we have a single concentrated product that is used to clean 95% of the general daily facility cleaning. It is not intended to be a super heavy duty cleaning product, which we feel is over kill in most situations. Please keep that in mind for our requests and beliefs regarding soil load. The product is used at two dilutions; heavy duty which is for heavy soils and sanitizing. Light duty, which is used for glass/mirror cleaning, floor cleaning, and general surface wipe down. Residue build up is big part of our value proposition and due to that we really need to develop a testing methodology.

Project Number 3

Test Objective:

We are looking to have a test performed on a few samples of chemical, and I was wondering if you guys would be able to help us out. It should be a really simple one, but it might take some time to run. We are also looking to begin this test as soon as possible.

Project Number 4

Test Objective:

We will be sending two products both in concentrate to be diluted by TURI using DI water. The breakdown of dilutions and tests is below. Should either product fail its respective tests, we will want to send in a new formulation for that product as soon as humanly possible. We would then rerun that entire series of tests. If you could send me a rough estimate for the tests listed below, I will send the products out this week. If the stainless-steel test is separate from glass/mirror, just let me know and include it in the quoted price.

Project Number 6

Test Objective:

Here is the next round of testing. One or two tests may be added or taken off, but for the sake of generating a PO and getting these out today, this is pretty much the bulk of it. Again, if your lab is able to take rush requests at this time, we will pay for that as well. Please replace chrome with stainless steel in the glass/chrome/mirror test, and please also replace Hucker’s soil with the DCC 17 grease soil mix.
