Green Carpet Cleaning - Carpet Cleaners and Shampooers
Green carpet cleanings are growing in popularity. Everyone wants clean carpeting, but often the cleaners used to achieve a like-new appearance pose a risk to humans, animals and the environment. Green carpet cleaning involves non-toxic cleaning agents and environmentally friendly practices when discharging the wastewater.

Stain removing carpet shampoos usually include baking soda and more potent chemicals, such as phosphates, silicates, artificial dyes, alcohol, esters and even butyloxy ethanol. While baking soda isn’t harmful, butyloxy ethanol is linked to kidney, liver and nervous system problems. If you have a baby crawling around breathing and ingesting the remnants of these chemicals, the results can be tragic. Green carpet cleaning methods are always best in the home for you, your family and your pets.
