The essential handbook for the cleaning and restoration professional.
The Complete Guide is the Restoration Sciences Academy's (RSA) complete collection of its classroom course manuals. Every RSA course is represented, including water damage restoration, fire and smoke restoration, odour control, microbial remediation, trauma scene cleanup, upholstery and fabric cleaning, and carpet cleaning. Extensively reviewed and revised by experienced cleaning and restoration instructors, researchers and industry leaders, this 600-page resource belongs in every cleaning and restoration library.
What It Is
Restoration Sciences Academy is the training school of Legend Brands, the owner of Dri-Eaz. The Complete Guide was released in 2014 as the successor to RSA's 2006 New Guide to Restorative Drying, and RSA issued it to students on its classroom courses.
It is a reference book, not a course. It does not give you a certification on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does buying the book give me a qualification?
No. It is the course textbook, not the course. Certification comes from completing an accredited course and exam.
Is it written for Australia?
No. It is a US publication. The drying science applies anywhere, but check local standards, regulations and insurer requirements before relying on a procedure.
Which edition is it?
Legend Brands does not publish an edition number on its product page. The Complete Guide was first released in 2014. Ask us if you need the edition of current stock.
Can I buy several for my team?
