Preliminary Evaluation of Spray Cleaning for Use by Naval Shore Activities

Abstract

Cleaning operations are a continuing effort in building maintenance, equipment maintenance, metal cleaning, sanitary cleaning, and other applications. Spray cleaning, which is a relatively new technique, is not widely used but since studies indicate that it has potential for reducing cleaning costs, a preliminary evaluation of the technique was made. Recommendations are made to determine the most effective spray cleaning method for transportation and construction equipment, to compare it to the most effective cleaning method now in use, and to propose that the most efficient method be included in a cleaning manual.
