August 21, 2006—A trio of extractors manufactured by Windsor Industries has been named to the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) list of Seal of Approval-certified extractors.
The extractors include two self-contained units that earned gold level certification.
The Seal of Approval (SOA) certification distinguishes the extractors as having passed a series of stringent tests measuring three performance criteria: amount of soil removed from the carpet, amount of residual water left in the carpet and impact of the machine on the fibers and appearance. Certified extractors are rated gold, silver or bronze based on the amount of soil they remove.
In the systems category, the SOA designation certifies that both the extractor and the recommended cleaning solution have each passed the various SOA tests to earn the grade.
The Admiral 8 Carpet Extractor Model ADM8 and the Expert Small Area Extractor Model EXP manufactured by Windsor Industries each passed the necessary tests to earn gold certification. Windsors Dominator 250 Carpet Extractor Model D250 won silver certification. Extractors that exceed average soil removal standards receive a bronze rating. Those achieving higher soil removal receive a silver rating, and those receiving the highest level of measurable soil removal are awarded a gold level SOA.
