Residue

There are claims and counter claims in the cleaning industry about the amount of residual matter left in a carpet after it's cleaned. Some have elaborate graphics to demonstrate the fact that their product leaves little or no residue while others merely make statements to this effect and leave it up to the imagination of the individual reading the advertisement.

Bane-Clene accepted the challenge set forth at our 1975 convention by Benjamin M. Burr of the Hercules Company. Ben said we should try to eliminate the use of chemicals as much as possible, since it's mainly chemical residue that causes rapid resoiling. He went on to say the chemicals we use should be as pure as possible and not contain fillers that also cause residue.

Since that time, we have continuously been striving for purity in our products and decreasing the amount of chemical used in our systems. Today the dilution ratio is only 48 ounces of PCA™ and 16 ounces of Booster™ to 120 gallons of clean, softened water. The result of these efforts are many thousands of satisfied customers, thanks to Mr. Burr's advice.
