Why CRI Certification is Important When Searching for Carpet Cleaning Franchises

When learning how to start a carpet cleaning business, understanding the role of the Carpet & Rug Institute’s (CRI) Seal of Approval Program is critical. The Carpet & Rug Institute’s mission is to educate consumers about carpets & cleaning equipment that is both environmentally safe and also extends the life of the carpets. The researchers at CRI teamed up with top scientists at NASA to develop their Seal of Approval program for carpet cleaning franchises and other companies. Receiving this seal means the company has developed a safe and effective method for cleaning that passes all of the high standards set by the CRI.

ZEROREZ® has received a Platinum Rating from the CRI--the highest available to the industry. This means their process and cleaning products passed the seven step test outlined by the CRI which includes:

1.    Measuring the effectiveness of the process or product at removing stains

2.    Testing to see how quickly soils and stains reappear

3.    Measuring the amount of moisture left in the carpet after the cleaning process

4.    Examining changes in the carpet after multiple cleanings

5.    Examining the carpet fibers for color change after cleaning

6.    Testing if the pH level falls between 4 and 10 on the pH scale

7.    Ensuring the product or process does not use brighteners
