These sugars are common in food residue, so finding them after cleaning means the surface wasn't cleaned properly. Swab the surface, snap to release the reagent, and read the colour after 60 seconds. If it stays \u003cstrong\u003eclear\u003c\/strong\u003e, the surface passes.

It's sold in boxes of 100 single-use tests.
