1 Scope
This International Standard describes a laboratory-scale textile-floor-covering cleaning procedure using a spray-extraction technique. This International Standard is applicable to all kinds of textile floor coverings, both machine-made and hand-made.
NOTE Depending on the characteristic under investigation, test specimens subjected to this cleaning procedure can be evaluated for many properties, e.g. ease of soil (dirt) removal, changes in appearance, effects of cleaning materials and durability of floor covering finishes.
