About CFCRA
In 1993, The Ontario Professional Carpet Cleaners Association (OPCCA) joined the FIO to form the CCFCD -Certified Carpet & Fabric Care division.The FIO-CCFCD was a shareholder in IICRC certification for membership.
Proudly launched on March 31, 2015, the CFCRA’s members include certified carpet & fabric cleaners, retailers, manufacturers and distributors of carpet, hardwood, resilient, and laminate flooring, and suppliers to the industry. We remain shareholdes in the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification).
The inclusion of restoration members at CFCRA completes the circle of problems related to the installation of floorcoverings. The modern-day consumer’s most popular floor covering choices are products that are often non-permeable and fail due to moisture related problems. These problems are most commonly corrected with the specialized procedures of disaster restoration contractors and specialized sealers from member manufacturers who specialize in this field.
