1) Get 3 surfaces that are identical and label the back of them. 2) Smear any “messy” substances on each of the surfaces equally. 3) Wipe each surface with a different brand of wipes, using the method of a windshield wiper three times. 4) Display each surfaces so the people won’t see the labels and get at least three different people and list their ratings from a scale of 1-10 once. 5) Record ratings. 6) Next, switch the placement surfaces and tell the people to rate them and record again. 7) Repeat step 5 until at least there were 3 trials.

Analyzed Result Page 9

Conclusion: If you use Scotch Brite disinfecting wipes then the surface will be cleaner. My hypothesis was proven true. The data shown that 2/3 people believe the Scotch Brite brand cleans better than Clorox and Lysol brand. There weren’t any problems on the experiment. The part that was somewhat fun was to be able to mess up the surfaces. If I could change the experiment I would wanna try it on different surfaces, brands, scents, and if temperature had anything to do with it. Page 10
