Janitorial Product Evaluation for Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
Product Testing Summary
The performance scores below reflect the results of the tests conducted by the Toxic Use Reduction Institute's Surface Solution Laboratory (SSL) at University of Massachusetts Lowell for the cleaners specified.
The RFR required that the general purpose cleaners remove at least 80% of the soil and the bathroom cleaner remove at least 75% of the soil. The results and scoring significantly exceeded both requirements for all manufacturer product lines for all hard-surface cleaners tested.

*Higher Trial figures signify cleaner carpet samples.
|
Test Results: The scores represent (1) the average percentage (%) of soil cleaned from the surfaces listed above for all-purpose, bathroom and glass cleaners with one application, completed in triplicate and (2) the average light meter readings for carpet cleaners with two applications, each completed in triplicate. In cases where the scores are in excess of 100%, the lab advises that this usually means the test coupons may have contained trace amounts of soil before applying the test soil, and that during the process the cleaning product removed everything. (Call the contractors or contact the lab for more details).
Dilution Ratio: Represents the estimated number of ounces of water to be added to one ounce of concentrated cleaning product.
