A laboratory screening test for greasy soil removal from hard surfaces using lard, vegetable shortening and vegetable oil darkened with finely divided charcoal on white, latex‐painted masonite wallboard is described. Cleaning by a wet sponge in the Gardner apparatus is measured by reflectometer. Statistical evaluation of results based on comparisons of 8 competitive cleaners is documented. Curves showing performance vs concentration of cleaners are given.
