Standard for Professional Cleaning of Textile Floor Coverings
Status Update
The new S100 Consensus Body has begun work to revise the 2021 ANSI/IICRC S100 Standard.
This Standard describes the procedures, methods, and systems to be followed when performing professional commercial and residential textile floor coverings (e.g., carpet and rugs) maintenance and cleaning. The purpose of this Standard is to define criteria and methodology for evaluating carpet types, characteristics, and conditions, and for establishing procedures for appearance retention, soil removal, and indoor environmental quality. Professional carpet and rug maintenance and cleaning consist of the following components for which procedures are described in this Standard:
Principles of carpet and rug cleaning
Chemistry of cleaning
Carpet fibers, construction, and styles
Carpet selection
Soil management principles
Equipment and tools
Methods and systems of cleaning
Safety and health
Administrative procedures
Pre-cleaning and post-cleaning inspections
Spot and stain removal
Residential cleaning
Area rugs
