*Cleaning Effectiveness is the percent value obtained from dividing:
(a) the geometric mean of the amount of embedded carpet dirt removed in
testing under ASTM Test Method F608-89, by
(b) the value 29 (the geometric mean of the midpoints of the % dirt pickup
scales selected by Hoover as a reference for its rating system).
