This test method may be used on soled, as well as unsoiled, textile floor coverings.
This wet cleaning procedure can be used for the evaluation of:
- wetfastness durability and permanency of antimicrobial properties
- colorfastness behavior

- cleanability
- dimensional stability
This procedure may also be used for the removal of soil or extraneous matter from specimens of textile floor coverings to prepare them for testing.
