CRI To Begin Testing Pet Stain, Odor Products

Dalton, GA, Aug. 12, 2010--The Carpet and Rug Institute is accepting product submissions for testing in its newly-implemented Pet Stain and Odor Removal category of the Seal of Approval cleaning solutions testing and certification program.

The program is designed to identify consumer products that are effective on odors as well as stains. It will test products marketed specifically for pet stain and odor removal on their ability to remove stains such as tracked-in dirt, urine, feces, vomit stains, and urine odor.

The pet odor and stain category joins the Carpet and Rug Institute’s existing spot remover and carpet cleaning solutions testing categories.
