Core Products Company Inc. The Technology Of Carpet Cleaning Core, a trusted manufacturer of cleaning products since 1976, is formulating for a clean future. C Carpeting and carpet care are big busi-ness because carpeting is an attractive and an inexpensive floor covering. Keeping carpet clean extends the life cycle of the covering, and since mod-ern carpeting is made from sustainable resources, it can also be cleaned sus-tainably. Aside from carpet, textiles are com-monly used in wall partitions for offices. Given their prevalence and diversity, cleaning fabric surfaces are a custodial challenge. Luckily for you, Core Products has what every custodial professional needs to tackle these jobs. Improving Air Quality Protecting air quality through carpet cleaning is a documented fact. Soiled carpets and padding can harbor dirt and germs. Products that are third-party certified will have minimal or no impact to the environment. Core’s Hydroxi Pro ® Carpet Cleaning Polymer is a six-to-one concentrated product, versatile and certified as a safer formulation through the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Design for the Environment (DfE) program. It may be used as a traffic lane pre-spray, extraction cleaner, bonnet cleaner, spot and stain remover, debrowner and deodorizer. Old Meets New Emerging cleaning technologies include specialized steam vapor fogging sys-tems — the heated water works against a broad range of common bacteria — and pulsed ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection, which provides a clean that you can actu-ally see, in contrast to before-and-after cleaning assessments. But, scientists agree these technolo-gies must be used in conjunction with traditional cleaning because, although they sanitize, neither method removes soil and debris, which is where bacteria, mold and mildew are harbored. Purchasing costs of newer technolo-gies may not be justified quickly enough due to budgetary constraints, so tradi-tional cleaning machines and methods will not disappear. Specifically formulated cleaning prod-ucts can provide a systematic approach to comprehensive carpet care. Core manufactures the Cleaning by Colors ® brand of carpet cleaners that are color-coded and labeled with the appro-priate pH according to the application. The labeling and color-coding makes choosing products for carpet cleaning jobs easy for carpet care and restoration professionals. The product line includes a heavy-duty carpet pre-conditioner, extraction deter-gents, defoamer, spin bonnet, shampoo and upholstery cleaners for fine fabrics and wool. Sustainability And Value Nothing takes the place of routine clean-ing to keep cross-contamination and germ counts down. Thorough and frequent cleaning can help stop the spread of infection in build-ings. By keeping the germ count down, odors are effectively controlled. Core manufactures Rid’z Odor ® , a con-centrated line of odor control products in a variety of fragrances. Economical and powerful, just half an ounce per gallon of water can provide a lingering scent that many customers enjoy. Using quality products and trusted cleaning techniques will contribute the overall appearance of a facility, improve air quality and extend the life of the carpet.w With Core Products, distributors, BSCs and business owners can have many value-added product choices.
