What is MilliCare?
A carpet maintenance franchise network with more than
15-years experience providing services for commercial &
hospitality clients. Our cleaning process utilizes MilliCare’s
unique absorbent polymers, we also do hot water
extraction on carpets that require restorative cleaning.
We sell SERVICES! - not products
True “Dry” Carpet Cleaning Process!
Developed by Milliken Carpets to clean and maintain all
types of carpets no matter the brand!
MilliCare High Performance Cleaning
– MilliCare’s dry-cleaning method is :
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Non-toxic
No slip and fall risk
No facility downtime
No water introduced into facility
Non abrasive to carpet fiber or backing (gentle)
Removes odors from carpet, no wet-carpet smell
Effective on all commercial carpet types and constructions
Removes soil and particulates rather than moving them around.
Removes surface fungi, allergens and bacteria from carpet.
Works with HVAC to reduce airborne particulates and VOCs.
No solvent carriers or detergent residues to accelerate carpet resoiling and emit VOCs into facility.
Adsorbent Polymer Powder Data
• Adsorbent polymer particle adsorbs 80-95% of its own weight in
soil and particulates. Inorganic substrate.
• Contains 40%, by weight, water-based non-ionic surfactant
wetting agent
• Uses no solvents as carriers and leaves no detergent residue
• Non-emitter of VOCs and inert, non-toxic
• Low specific gravity assures vacuum recovery of polymer and soil
• Powder particle is non-abrasive
• Large particle size prevents it from remaining airborne and
assures its being trapped in vacuum bags.
MilliCare vs Competing Systems
Wet Methods
Dry Methods
MilliCare
Competitive Dry
Wet Extraction
 Water-based - very low moisture.
 Exclusive adsorbent chemistry
 No limits on frequency of use.
 Hydrocarbon solvent or
cellulosic based
 High frequency cleaning NOT
desirable
 Non-absorbent medium
 Water, detergent
 High frequency
cleaning not desirable
 No carriers or detergent residues
hence no detergent or carrier
related re-soiling
 Soil is removed rather than moved
around. This protects fibers from
scarring and dulling and results in
best long term appearance
retention.
 No optical brighteners
 Removes smoke odors
 No down-time
 No water-related bacterial or fungal
allergens fostered
 Demonstrated IAQ improvements
through removal of dust mite and
other particulate allergens.
 No Volatile Organic Compounds
 Non-toxic, environmentally safe
 Approved for ALL fiber types
 Solvent residues and optical
brighteners can dull fiber
and cause yellowing.
 Re-soiling
 Fiber scarring from soil not
retrieved
 Cleaner is also hard to
retrieve
 Possible solvent carrier
related VOCs
 Larger particles provide less
penetration
 Fine airborne particles are
left behind with some
systems (10:1 difference)
 Low coverage rates.
 Retrieved materials are slow
to decompose in landfill.
 Over-wetting can occur
 Long dry times
 Wet methods promote growth of
bacterial and fungal colonies.
Odors, allergens accumulate and
IAQ suffers.
 Wick-back of soil means that
initial good appearance following
clean is deceptive
 Optical brighteners may cause
yellowing
 Detergent residue dulls fiber and
promotes re-soiling.
 Must clean larger areas for
uniform appearance - streaking
possible
 Fiber scarring danger from limits
on acceptable frequencies.
 Repeated use of excess water
can gradually penetrate seams
between modular tiles damaging
adhesive and loosening tiles.
Spin Bonnet
 Water, detergent
 High frequency
cleaning not desirable
 Tends to redistribute rather than
remove soil.
 Provides surface cleaning only
requiring periodic wet
extraction.
 Pile distortion & yarn de-twist /
unravel. Pile matting and
crushing.
 Leaves streaks and swirl marks.
 Re-soiling results from
detergent residues.
 Detergent residue dulls fiber.
 Uneven detergent application
 Requires pre-vacuum
 Fiber scarring from soil &
method
 Not safe for use on all fibers
 Wet methods promote growth of
bacterial and fungal colonies.
Odors, allergens accumulate
and IAQ suffers.
Industry Endorsement
The Carpet and Rug Institute formally
recognizes and endorses MilliCare’s Adsorbent
Polymer Powder Cleaning System as a deep
carpet cleaning method!
Are You Concerned
About MOLD!
INDOOR AIR QUALITY – WET CARPET SMELL!
What’s Wrong With this Picture!
Trip & Fall Liability?
Public Safety?
Overwetting
“MOLD”?
Quotes - the Indoor Environment
CRI - Carpet and Rug Institute
• “Abnormally high levels of mold spores are most often associated
with water damage, water intrusion, failed HVAC systems, or
non-existent or ineffective cleaning systems.”
• “Carpet that is maintained in a clean, dry condition does not
support mold growth. Clean and dry = no mold.”
• CRI recognizes and endorses MilliCare’s Cleaning System as an
effective carpet deep-cleaning method.
• CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• Recommends “removing or replacing previously soaked carpets
and upholstery.”
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) – MilliCare’s Contributions
– Removes particulates (soil, spores, allergens and
bacteria) from carpet rather than moving them around
– Works with HVAC to effectively reduce airborne
particulates, bio-aerosols, and VOCs.
– No water introduced into carpet to promote biological
activity. No wet-carpet smell.
– Removes odors from carpet
– No VOC-emitting solvent carriers and fragrances
-The battle rages on, which is better wet or dry cleaning?
-Consider this…with all the studies and news headlines about mold
and it’s associated problems. Facility & Resident managers are now
considering new ways to improve indoor air quality and safeguard
against this problem.
- The MilliCare “DRY” carpet cleaning process, is a great way to start.
Carpets must be cleaned on a regular basis, it’s the kitchen sink on
your facility floor that collects and holds all the dust and dirt. Daily
vacuuming is recommended, programmed maintenance will do the
rest.
So how does MilliCare
work?
Application Method
Six different Pre-mists may be
applied, followed by Dry Cleaner
