Rug Doctor Unveils Ready-to-Use Cleaning Wipes, Pet Formula Product at 2010 International Home + Housewares Show

DALLAS, March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Rug Doctor is debuting its three newest eco-friendly carpet cleaning products at the International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago this week, including ready-to-use disposable cleaning wipes and a pet formula for use in its carpet cleaning machines. These eco-sustainable products add to Rug Doctor's existing line of environmentally friendly Green Formula carpet cleaning products, all of which will be on display in Booth L11315 throughout the show.

Stain Removing Wipes

The new Spot & Stain Remover Wipes for general cleaning and Urine Eliminator Wipes for pet stains combine the power of Rug Doctor's professional stain-fighting expertise with the convenience of pre-moistened wipes in re-sealable packaging. And in keeping with Rug Doctor's company-wide focus on sustainability, its new wipes are biodegradable, in recyclable packages of 24 per pack.

While the Spot & Stain Remover Wipes are ideal for the quick clean up of everyday spills and stains on carpet and upholstery, the Urine Eliminator Wipes are specially formulated to attack and remove the source of tough pet stains and odors. The active enzyme-powered cleaning formula in the Urine Eliminator Wipes literally dissolves the salts and acids in pet waste that can cling to carpet fibers and cause stains and odors.

Using Rug Doctor's new wipes to simply blot the problem area not only removes the stain but also helps rejuvenate and deodorize carpet fibers.

Pet Formula Carpet Cleaner

Rug Doctor's new 2X Pet Formula Carpet Cleaner brings that same pro-enzymatic formula from the Urine Eliminator wipes to its already powerful cleaning solution for an all-over deep clean that pet owners will appreciate. Pairing this 2X cleaning formula with a home carpet cleaning extraction machine puts twice the standard cleaning power in the hands of pet lovers to help them tackle tough stains, remove dander and deodorize their carpet.

"Our new 2X Pet Formula cleaner has been shown to outperform competitors' 2X cleaning solutions, so we see this product as a way to fill pet owners' needs for a deep clean that existing pet formulas can't," said Tim Wall, president and chief executive officer of Rug Doctor. "We know our Pet Formula is strong, but it's also a great complement – along with our new cleaning wipes – to our growing line of Green Formula cleaning solutions. We continue to look for ways to make it easy for our customer to be green and clean, and our newest products do just that."

Focus on Sustainability

Rug Doctor's focus is on developing professional-strength cleaning products with an emphasis on being environmentally conscious. The company's commitment to sustainability stretches from implementing energy-saving procedures in its manufacturing processes to developing biodegradable product formulas from natural ingredients to utilizing recycled or reclaimed materials for product packaging.
