3. Why MilliCare?
MilliCare Carpet Cleaner is a DRY absorbent cleaning product and is recommended for
the following reasons:
Efficient – The MilliCare DRY process removes the soil and leaves no chemical residue
in carpet, which attracts dirt and soil.
Convenient – Carpet can be walked on immediately after or during cleaning: no down
time needed for drying as in wet cleaning methods.
Slower Resoiling – Carpet stays cleaner 2 to 3 times longer than when wet systems are
used – with MilliCare you clean less often.
Safe – The MilliCare DRY process will not harm carpet, cause shrinkage, seam
separation, color bleeding, mildew or delamination.
Certifiable Indoor Air Quality Improvement – The MilliCare DRY process can
reduce airborne particle level up to 90% and dust mite allergens by 87%.
Environmentally Friendly – The MilliCare DRY process maximizes water efficiency,
prolongs carpet lifecycle and improves indoor air quality.
Continued Improvement – Currently there are 27 patents for MilliCare DRY Carpet
Cleaner – proof of ongoing research and development of this product.

5. What is different about MilliCare?
MilliCare’s dry cleaning process cleans deep into carpet
fibers.
After the particle contacts the soil and stain, it attacks and adsorbs
the dirt. The moisture in the particle is the key in this process.
Polymer is brushed deep into
carpet and adsorbs soil.
Moisture evaporates, soil is
adsorbed. Vacuum removes
polymer and soil.
MilliCare’s process leaves no
residue, chemicals or moisture
in your carpet.

7. Another Benefit to MilliCare
Typical portable hot extractors have a
10 gallon solution tank and can clean
between 1,000 and 2,000 sq. ft. before
refilling. Moisture recovery can be
anywhere between 60% to 75%.
Taking the best case and assuming a productivity rate of 2000 sq. ft.
per tank, a moisture recovery rate of 75% the water used to clean a
10,00 sq. ft. area would be:
10,000 sq. ft. x 10 gal./tank ÷ 2000 sq. ft./tank = 50
gallons
Water recovered and requiring disposal:
50 gal. x 75% recovery rate = 37.5 gallons
Amount of moisture left in the fibers to evaporate:
50 gal. - 37.5 gal. = 12.5 gallons

Let me show you how the process would work when we clean your work environment.
Describe 3 step dry process here.
I can also show you right now how effectively our process cleans (RED PEN TEST).
So, how does the chemistry work? Our powder is comprised of synthetic polymer particles that work like a sponge.
Each non‑toxic particle can adsorb 80‑95% of its own weight in soil and the particulates in the air that you don't want to breathe.
Clients often ask me what "adsorb" means. Adsorb describes how the surfactant that coats each particle attracts the soil so that the soil clings to the particle but never mixes with it chemically.
And although the technology that we use is in a powder form, the particles have a low specific gravity so they don't blow in the air and negatively impact your IAQ ‑ they are completely recovered with the soil when your carpet is vacuumed‑that means no detergent residue or other residues which could raise your carpet's pH.
MilliCare's system is non‑abrasive to your carpet's fiber and backing and is effective on all types of commercial carpet.
Let me show you some actual examples of what this could look like in your carpet.
You can see the dramatic difference that MilliCare's dry polymer process makes even after the carpet has been cleaned using another system and then re‑soiled.

Here's another benefit to our dry process. We don't use your water. The benefit to you is...
You don't waste a valuable resource.
You don’t pay to use it or dispose of it.
And, it isn't left in your carpet to encourage the growth of mold, fungus and mildew.
We save your resources and your money, and support Green Working to raise your Indoor Air Quality.
These are examples of results we have realized for some of our other clients.
MilliCare promotes Green Working in your work environment by:
Being free of VOC emitting carriers and fragrances (your environment smells clean because it is clean, not because the odor has been masked)
Working with your HVAC system to reduce airborne particulates (clearing the air of 99 % of the things you don't want to breathe)
And, actually removing the particulates from your textiles and carpet ‑things like soil, mold spores and bacteria
In addition, no water is introduced into the carpet to promote biological activity or production of mold and fungus ‑ so there is no wet carpet smell.
The Carpet and Rug Institute states that carpet which is maintained in a clean, dry condition does not support or cause mold growth.

Because MilliCare is dedicated to R&D beyond the industry standard, and passionate about our environmental stewardship‑we commissioned an independent study by Air Quality Sciences in Atlanta, GA to evaluate the impact that our cleaning process has on removing particulates from the air and improving IAQ.
In every instance, there was a massive reduction in the existence of the substance, and often the substance was reduced to almost undetectable levels.
This was the case with dust mites, formaldehyde, bacteria, VOC's and other compounds as you can see here.
MilliCare really does clear the air of up to 99% of the things you don't want to breathe, and our commitment to Green Working helps create a cleaner, healthier, more comfortable work environment for your employees.

Whatever the nature of your space, MilliCare is committed to bringing you a safe, clean environment. By protecting and maintaining the full range of your workplace fibers, we can help to eliminate dirt and odor, dust and mites, molds and other particles that can negatively affect your IAQ.
In most working environments carpet is the largest finish and (FM’s) have some type of cleaning program in place to protect that investment. What many (FM’s) don’t realize though, is that upholstery and wall and panel fabrics also trap dirt and odors and should be cleaned regularly. MilliCare’s cleaning process is a safe and effective method for cleaning all of the textiles in your work space.
One of the best ways to keep your carpet clean is to prevent tracked-in dirt. Our First Appearances entry mat system is completely modular and collects 85% of dirt before it reaches your facility’s carpet. We also offer a full line of KEX entry mats which provide both a line of defense against tracked-in dirt and an opportunity to have your company logo at the entry to your building.
For particularly high-traffic areas, MilliCare’s Fiber Protector goes beyond normal surface guards to protect fibers inside and out – even after they’re installed. And for liquid stain protection, Fiber Protector provides an advanced subsurface technology that prevents stains from bonding to dye sites.
If you have struggled with persistent odors, MilliCare’s Odor Neutralizer is a safe, biodegradable, non-toxic, non-staining formula that can destroy the immediate odor and speed up the destruction of the source by oxidizing it into non-volatile components. Odor Neutralizer doesn’t mask odors, but destroys them permanently.
MilliCare is committed to a customized maintenance plan for all of the textiles in your work environment, so that you can protect your investment, improve your IAQ and enhance your corporate image.

Why should you care? Three reasons: Increased ROI, Improved IAQ and Enhanced Corporate Image.
By maintaining your textiles and carpet rather than cleaning them when they look dirty, you can extend their serviceable life, and decrease the time that you spend on carpet maintenance problems. In addition, by cleaning with MilliCare’s innovative dry polymer process you reduce maintenance-related downtime.
Studies have shown that increased employee absenteeism and decreased productivity due to poor IAQ and sick-building syndrome are costing corporations billions of dollars a year. MilliCare’s deep-extraction method of cleaning coupled with your standard HVAC system improves IAQ by helping to clear the air of up to 99% of the things you don’t want to breathe.
And, a consistently clean work environment protects the investment you’ve made in your corporate brand image- helps your company to attract and retain top talent-and reduces the number of complaints from your existing employees. A study by ASID has shown that only Compensation and Benefits are more important to employees than a clean and attractive work environment.
