Residential Carpet Information > CRI Seal of Approval Information

CRI’s Seal of Approval (SOA) program is all about cleaning efficacy and constant improvement. We wanted to know how well vacuums, extractors, and cleaning solutions worked to clean carpet, so we developed the carpet industry’s only scientific program to test and measure the effectiveness of cleaning products and equipment. The program helps consumers make informed decisions and cleaning manufacturers improve their products. The results are cleaner, healthier, and longer-lasting carpet.
