In addition, Harris Research Inc, which manufactures products under the name Chem-Dry™, had two systems earn a silver rating.

The testing is done by Professional Testing Laboratory, Inc., Dalton, GA, and follows a stringent protocol to designate certification. The Seal of Approval Deep Cleaning Systems tests for eight performance criteria: soil removal, re-soiling, appearance retention, amount of moisture left in the carpet, surface appearance change, colorfastness, pH level, and optical brighteners.

"The Seal of Approval program addresses the issue of carpet cleaning effectiveness by testing and certifying only those products that meet high performance standards," said Werner Braun, CRI president.

"Independent testing has shown that not all cleaning product clean equally well. We are thrilled to be able to tell people that companies who have earned the Seal of Approval can offer a complete and effective deep cleaning system, from start to finish."
