Last winter, Werner Braun asked my opinion of the SOA testing program. My answer set off a firestorm of censure which even includes the veiled threat of being banned from CRI's Certified Service Provider program. Did I miss something? Whatever happened to the freedom of speech part of our constitution?
One major objection I had was that the Rug Doctor® rental machine was classed by the CRI as "Gold." I offered to do a comparison to demonstrate how erroneous that rating was, but CRI did not accept. Rug Doctor has since been promoted to the new "Platinum" rating, so I'll make another offer for a comparison between a Bane-Clene® machine and a Rug Doctor.
We'll clean any carpet, (the dirtier the better) anywhere, in any home or any commercial location. All three parties, (Bane-Clene, Rug Doctor, CRI ) will put up $10,000.00 each, with $30,000.00 going to the winner's favorite charity. Judges will be selected by mutual agreement. I'll put up more if the other parties want to increase the paltry $10,000.00 wager.
CRI has made ridiculous comparisons with their so called testing program. Examples include powerful Steamway® and HydraMaster® truck-mounted units classed as only "Bronze." Today I'm issuing this challenge for CRI to put their money where their brain should have been, or "86" the whole sordid SOA program.
