Five Solutions Earn CRI Seal of Approval

Dalton, GA, October 8, 2007--Six cleaning solutions have been added to the Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval list as some carpet manufacturers have made a decision to tie carpet warranties to the use of CRI SOA-approved products.

Three of the new SOA products are spot removers, while two are pre-sprays and one an in-tank bringing the total of approved products to 143 in the solution portion of the SOA program.

E-Z Out, VonSchrader Spot Remover, and Multi- Purpose Oxy-Force RTU each passed as spot removers and joined pre-sprays Kick Pro Concentrate, Simple Green Clean Building Carpet Cleaner Concentrate and in-tank solution Code: Green on the list of certified solutions.

Each product passed a series of tests performed by an independent laboratory. The tests for spot removers, pre-sprays and in-tank solutions include protocols for effectiveness, soil attraction, pH, brighteners, and colorfastness.
