  1. Regular regular finish or no treatment, Water water repellent finish, Soil soil release finish, Teflon ® Teflon® finish or combined water/stain repellent finish, NB no burn was reported throughout the 60 s of the test
  2. a Mean and SD are based on 4 replicates as 1 replicate did not meet the 2nd or 3rd degree burn criteria
  3. b Mean and SD are based on 3 replicates as 2 replicates did not meet the 2nd or 3rd degree burn criteria
  4. c Mean and SD are based on 2 replicates as 3 replicates did not meet the 2nd or 3rd degree burn criteria
  5. d Mean value is reporting 1 replicate only as 4 replicates did not meet the 2nd degree burn criteria
