FINDINGS: BY TYPE OF ROOM

CLEANLINESS APPEARANCE

With a goal of a 100% perfect (defect-free) room, it was quickly evident that cleanliness appearance

levels varied by type of room using the current ionized cleaning strategy. While the ionized device

removed much of the bio-film soiling quickly, visible soiling levels within the rooms studied exhibited

only a fair overall level of cleanliness appearance of acceptability.

So, we start with a variety of acceptable and unacceptable room-based cleanliness appearance

levels. These levels include a number on non-related surfaces and items NOT cleaned by the ionized

product, such as floors, baseboards, lights, furniture, as well as excluded cleaning activities, such as

project deep cleaning, litter, dust, floor polishing, etc. All of these contribute to a low level appearance

and are not reflective of any sanitizing issue. It is

room-based

cleanliness appearance profile that

serves as a backdrop for the comparative study that follows.

Chart 1: Cleanliness Appearance

Overall, the Somerset Academy

ionized cleaning strategy delivered

a “Fair” cleanliness level, with the

highest appearance level occurring

in Classrooms and Restrooms, while

the lowest cleanliness appearance

levels occurring in the Cafeteria.

This is a good example for asking

the question:

Is there a difference

between looking “clean” and being

sanitary?
