N2 - The aim of the study was to develop radiochemical methods suitable for evaluating cleanability in material research for agricultural environment. In addition, the effect of surface modifications and coatings on cleanability and surface properties of concrete-based floors was investigated. The general porosity of concrete can affect cleanability compared to that of plastic coatings, because the absorptivity of concrete flooring can affect its soiling tendency. According to this study, surface treatments/coatings improved the cleanability of concrete materials. The contact angle measurements and topographic data showed that the coatings studied made the concrete surfaces more compact. The new radiochemical methods developed were suitable for examining different surface materials and different soil types, providing quantitative information about the amount of soil on surfaces. They also take into account soil soaked into surfaces.
