The Carpet And Rug Institute Seal of Approval
The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) is the national trade association representing the carpet and rug industry. Headquartered in Dalton, Georgia, the Institute's membership consists of manufacturers representing over 90% of all carpet produced in the United States, and suppliers of raw materials and services to the industry. There is continued coordination with other segments of the industry, such as distributors, retailers, and installers. CRI is a source of extensive carpet information for consumers, writers, interior designers, specifiers, facility managers, architects, builders, and building owners and managers, installation contractors, and retailers.
Proper cleaning is critical to extending carpet's life and appearance especially in high traffic areas. CRI's Seal of Approval program sets test methods and performance criteria for two categories of cleaning products.
