MilliCare, a leading provider of commercial textile and carpet care services, has received the coveted Seal of Approval from the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI). MilliCare's pre-mist NXT, used with its dry polymer carpet cleaner, has been recognized by CRI as a highly effective method for spot cleaning. CRI, the national trade organization for the carpet and rug industry, created its Seal of Approval to help people care for their carpet without adversely affecting its appearance or performance. The industry association reports that many carpet care products can distort the color and other attributes of carpets and rugs. In fact, many carpet cleaning products are less effective than water at removing stains and soils, and some may actually increase the rate of resoiling. "We are honored that CRI has awarded MilliCare its Seal of Approval," said MilliCare Technical Director Stephen Lewis. "Our commitment to research and development, combined with the training we provide to our network of 80 MilliCare service providers around the world, has allowed us to create a truly superior process and solution for long-term carpet and textile care." According to CRI, products receiving the Seal of Approval must pass rigorous tests administered by Professional Testing Laboratory of Dalton, Ga. A panel of technicians examines the performance of two kinds of products: spot removers and pre-spray/in-tank solutions. Testing compares the product or service to water in such areas as efficacy, resoiling, pH, optical brighteners and colorfastness to light, using such staining agents as catsup, coffee, grape juice, permanent marker and synthetic soil.
