FINDINGS: BY TYPE OF ITEM
CLEANLINESS APPEARANCE
In this study 286 surfaces and item were reviewed to measure the cleanliness appearance by item for
the current ionized strategy for cleaning. The observations by the study team determined that
appearance levels varied considerably at the surface and item level.
Again, we start with a variety of acceptable and unacceptable item-based cleanliness appearance
levels. These levels also 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 low level item
appearance and are not reflective of any sanitizing issue. It is this item-based cleanliness
appearance profile that serves as a backdrop for the comparative study that follows.

rated a “Fair” cleanliness level, 
even at the surface and item 
level.   The highest appearance 
level occurred for Waste 
containers and the lowest
