Standard Test Method for Quantitative Assessment of Sanitizing Solutions for Carpet

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Carpet, when exposed to the environment or foot traffic, accumulates soil and biocontaminants during its in-service life. While routine vacuuming may effectively remove dry particulate soils, it has a limited effect on removing or killing accumulated and embedded biocontaminants. In this test method, steps are described to assess test substances for the ability to sanitize carpet.

5.2 This test method compares an inert control solution to a sanitizing test solution for the ability to reduce viable bacteria and fungi inoculated onto carpet samples.

5.3 This test method provides for efficient recovery of surviving bacteria from inoculated carpets.
