Sanitation - Refurbished / Claim Grades
Since X2 Refurbished and Claim tiles come from reclaimed carpet tile, special care is taken to ensure that it is clean and safe from microbial content. X2 Refurbished and Claim tiles are cleaned and sanitized using a highly automated, proprietary process. To ensure effectiveness, X2 Refurbished and Claim carpet tile is randomly audited by a 3rd party where X2 tiles are taken at random and analyzed by an American Counsel of Governmental Industrial Hygienists certified lab for microbial content. Testing shows X2 Refurbished and Claim tiles are in the low microbial category, which is comparable to brand new carpet tile.
| Sample | Location | Fungi (CFU/g) | Bacteria (CFU/g) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MV-01 | Original carpet before cleaning | 920,000 | 6,200,000 | High fungi & significantly high bacteria |
| MV-03 | After X2 sanitatization process | 57,000 | less than 700 | Low fungi & bacteria |
Limits: 0-300,000 CFU/g (low) • 300,000-600,000 CFU/g (low/medium) • 600,000 - 1,000,000 CFU/g (medium/high) • 1,000,000 CFU/g and higher (significantly high)
