Test "The Effects of Cleaning Agents on Stained Carpet"
Title Charlie's Soap Out Cleans Leading Brands

The three cleaners tested were Charlie's Soap - All Purpose, 409 and a generic Food Lion cleaner. Red fruit juice was used to stain three squares of carpet for each of the three cleaners: a total of nine squares. The researcher treated three carpet squares per cleaner for each cleaner and allowed the cleaners to soak in for 5 minutes. Then each carpet square was scrubbed with a rag for 2 minutes. The average amount cleaned for each brand of cleaning agent greatest to least is Charlie's Soap-5, Food Lion-3, and 409 Carpet-4.
