Testing Chemical-Free Cleaning Efficacy

According to this article on cleanlink.com, some studies show that the effectiveness of sanitizing technologies produce differing results when tested in working environments vs lab tests.

Vince Elliott, president and CEO of The Chemical Free Cleaning Network, Baltimore, Md., and author of “Extreme Green Cleaning,” is no stranger to water-activated cleaning solutions; he’s been studying their efficacy for some time.

Recently, Elliott connected with a custodial cleaning executive overseeing a high-traffic facility to examine the following questions:
• Do the various water-activated sanitizing technologies actually reduce Reflective Light Unit (RLU) levels as measured by an ATP meter?
• How do the differing technologies compare to each other? Does one perform better or worse, or are they all basically the same?
• What differences in efficacy are there between plain tap water and water-activated technologies?

While Elliott’s research is ongoing, he has tested 760 surfaces in the facility so far and has learned a thing or two about the sanitizing products being used.
