ECOGENT CARPET CLEANER
ECOgent Carpet Cleaner is the ideal cleaner to use in Carpet Cleaning Without Harm, because it contains no volatiles and is made of natural ingredients that do not harm building occupants. Download our Carpet Cleaning Without Harm presentation. Ask the professionals! ECOgent is a unique patented carpet cleaning technology that cleans and brightens even in cold water.

ECOgent contains 100% natural ingredients. Excellent for all carpets, including wool. ECOgent has a unique recurring benefit -- the carpet looks freshly cleaned every time you vacuum! Many professional carpet cleaners are now using ECOgent.
SAFE FOR ALL SURFACES!
Use ECOgent General Purpose Cleaner to clean without harming either people or modern building surfaces. ECOgent is a simpler, safer and more effective general purpose cleaning system for all daily cleaning tasks in commercial environments, including walls, floors, windows, computer monitor screens and housings, desks, doors, carpet spotting, washroom maintenance, etc.
ECOgent is safer and more effective than traditional cleaners for removing and avoiding buildup of organic soils. ECOgent’s patented formulation has the ability to clean below its critical micel concentration (U.S. Pat. No. 6,432,395). That means even in extremely low dilutions it effectively removes surface soils.
Use ECOgent for household and institutional laundry (with household machines). It does not contaminate our aquatic environment and is suitable for individuals with sensitivities.

NEW: ECOgent Receives European
           Union Eco-label!
The Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) at the University of Massachusetts Lowell has helped Cogent Environmental Solutions be awarded the first European Union Eco-label in North America. TURI's Surface Solutions Laboratory, under the direction of Carole LeBlanc, provided the technical assessment necessary for Cogent to receive the European Eco-label for an all-purpose cleaner.

The voluntary label is designed to encourage businesses to market products and services that are kinder to the environment and help European consumers - both public and private purchasers - to easily identify them. The Eco-label license allows Cogent to use the official Flower logo on its Ecogent General Purpose Cleaner (exclusively manufactured by Chemspec) to promote the product to more than 375 million consumers in the European Union.
