by Rebecca Walker — February 2, 2010—ProTeam has earned the Gold Seal of Approval/Green Label from the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) for seven of its leading vacuums, signifying that they meet the highest standards for carpet cleaning effectiveness and indoor air quality.
Vacuums awarded gold pass a stringent testing process at an independent laboratory and meet three key performance criteria: amount of soil removed, containment of dust and dirt within the machine, and carpet fiber protection. ProTeam vacuums rated gold include: Super CoachVac, Super CoachVac HEPA, Super QuarterVac, Super QuarterVac HEPA, MegaVac, RunningVac and ProVac CN.
CRI created its Seal of Approval/Green Label to combine the indoor air quality protection of its Green Label vacuum testing and certification program with the enhanced cleaning standards of its Seal of Approval program.
Underscoring the value that carpet manufacturers place on quality cleaning products, some of the largest manufacturers have tied their warranties to the use of CRI Seal of Approval-certified cleaning products, notes ProTeam.
