Brace yourself! We're about to humblebrag a little, but we promise it's for a worthy cause. Our cleaning concentrates have proven to be up to 10 times better than the competition, and we've got the tests to back up the claims.
A “Clean” Sweep in Performance Tests
To uphold our commitment to transparency and quality, we've subjected our cleaning concentrates to a series of stringent functionality tests. These assessments measure each product's performance across a wide array of parameters. In this article, we'll delve into the details of these tests and how our products shone in them.
While we're beaming with pride over our superior performance, we appreciate our competitors' shared mission to reduce the environmental footprint of cleaning/household products. As a sign of respect, we've chosen to anonymize the other brands tested, assigning them unique letters that are maintained throughout the article and its accompanying charts. - The products tested are from well know brands in the category being sold in UK, EU, US.
Unpacking the Testing Procedure
The testing process starts by creating a homogeneous soil mixture tailored to the cleaning product. For example, for bathroom cleaners, the enemy is typically limescale. The product's effectiveness against these chosen contaminants determines its success.
The Multipurpose Marvel: Surface Cleaners
Surface cleaners are your go-to for quick wipe downs across various surfaces. Their mission is to wipe away dirt and soil, especially those pesky fatty deposits. The testing process involves applying the same quantity of product to various smears on surfaces and observing the aftermath.
The surface cleaner showdown revealed the following:
| Name / Alias | Test Observations | Performance Category | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vove | - | Premium | 1 |
| F | - | Medium | 2 |
| B | Slow dissolution with residue | Budget | 3 |
| A | Cloudy solution | Budget | 4 |
| E | Slow dissolution with residue. Cloudy solution |
Budget | 5 |
| D | - | Budget | 6 |
| C | - | Budget | 7 |
While the competition generally hit a budget-level performance, our cleanfill concentrate outperformed them all, taking the trophy for best in class all around cleaner.
Streak-Free Shine: Glass Cleaners
The holy grail of glass and window cleaning is a streak-free finish. Products in the test were tested based on the number and size of streaks / lines left on the test surface after applying a set amount of liquid and wiping it over with the same material and pressure.
Here’s how the glass cleaners stacked up:
All the products with the exception of “F”, are at approximately the same performance level. In terms of performance, they belong in the budget performance category. “F” is approx medium performance. Only the Vove glass cleaner managed to exceed the standards of a medium performance window cleaner, while the others left surfaces noticeably streaky with streak counts anywhere from 4 - 8 times the streaks of the Vove solution.
The Limescale Leverage: Bathroom Cleaners
When it comes to bathrooms we all know the culprit: limescale! When testing bathroom cleaners the main goal is for a good solution to remove as much limescale as possible. Products were evaluated based on their descaling capacity, measured in milligrams (mg).
The results were:
Only Vove managed to surpass the benchmark test of 800mg, outshining the competition once again.
Except for Vove, none of the products put to the test managed to reach the performance of an ordinary, off-the-shelf cleaner. It's worth noting that the conventional benchmark for descaling sits at 800mg, a standard that most of the tested products did not meet. Interestingly, our results reveal that many of the cleaning tablets currently available on the market don’t remove limescale. This is largely due to the low pH of the solutions, resulting in a less than effective solution.
Conclusion
One reason our products have taken the lead is our decision not to use tablets, which often leave a residue and don’t fully dissolve. In fact, for bathroom cleaners, many tablets struggle to produce a high enough pH to be effective without resorting to harsh chemicals.
But Vove concentrates, as proven, offers efficient, green cleaning with top-tier performance. So, why compromise when you can enjoy a superior clean and contribute to reducing the emissions and plastic waste from cleaning products?
