The Multi Soil Monitor is a special monitor to
determine the soil and stain removal in dry cleaning processes and
in washing processes for wool, coloured fabrics and other delicate
fabrics. The monitor has many different types of soil and gives
therefore a good indication of the effectiveness of a process. |

Description of the monitor |
|
|
| |
|
|
The monitor consists of a 100% polyester cloth, on which a large
number of different types of soil have been attached. The kinds of
soil used can be compared with soil that could be found on e.g.
jerseys, trousers and other clothing. This makes the Multi Soil
Monitor very suitable for measuring and monitoring the soil and
stain removal of dry cleaning processes and washing processes for
wool, coloured fabrics and other delicate fabrics.
The Multi Soil Monitor is very easy to use. The monitor is added to
the load and washed once under normal circumstances. After the
process the monitors are sent back to us for measuring.
The removal of the different kinds of soil is measured and
calculated as a percentage of the maximum soil removal that is
possible (0 = no removal, 100% = complete removal).

With the Multi Soil Monitor, an objective evaluation can be given of
the detergency of a cleaning process. The Multi Soil Monitor can
also be used to compare different cleaning processes with each
other.
When the goal is to improve the quality of a process, the monitor
can be used to vary the process. In this way the quality is always
kept on the desired standard.

Analysis |
|
|
| |
|
|
The tristimulus blue remission of the washed monitors is measured
with a tristimulus type colorimeter. Cleaning Consultancy Delft bv.
also sells a low cost portable
tristimulus colorimeter.
The monitors can be bought with and
without analysis. Reports are available in the
next languages: Dutch, English, French and German.

Package |
|
|
| |
|
|
One set consists of three monitors. In order to get an accurate
result all three monitors must be used simultaneously in the same
process.
The monitors are sealed in an airtight package. This package also
prevents UV-light penetrating. In this way the quality of the
monitors is guaranteed for a long period.
As with all our measuring materials, this monitor is delivered with
a form that gives instructions and can be used to fill in details of
the cleaning process.
