Carpet Cleaning: The Environment

With the recent influx of eco-friendly products on the market, commercial cleaners and service companies have become more environmentally conscious. More and more often the consumer is benefiting from better, healthier products. These products are safer for you and the environment.

There are many options for you to choose from when it comes to locating an environmentally friendly cleaner. More and more companies are cropping up on the market, touting the next best thing in green cleans. Find a company that fits your needs and your idea of what it means to be environmentally friendly.

When choosing a company to do your carpet cleaning, you will want to make sure the company comes highly recommended. So, spend time researching on the web. It is possible you can find a company in your area based on online recommendations or community postings. Also, be sure that the company has a good Better Business Bureau rating. This will help you know whether or not you are dealing with a well-established company.

You may be able to ask friends, family or neighbors if they know of a good environmentally friendly carpet cleaning company. Perhaps they have recently hired the company to clean carpets in their home or have heard through others about a particular company. Follow up on the recommendations given to you by friends or co-workers. Ask if you can see the carpets that they had cleaned. In the end, you will be more satisfied knowing the quality of the cleaner’s work.

Another resource to use when looking for a greener company may be your local health foods market. Occasionally, the market will keep information at the front desk or posted on the walls about local companies that are eco conscious or use alternative methods. They may also know of companies in the area that are already using plant-based products or products from their health store.

There is a possibility that your home improvement store or center might have a professional cleaners department connected with it. Even if they don’t have their own carpet cleaning company, they may be a good place to seek recommendations. If you do go with a cleaner that is connected to your home improvement store, be sure to check the cost. It may be more expensive to go through a big-name store than to hire an independent contractor.

When locating a green cleaner or cleaners, you need to know the right questions to ask. Some companies are not fully aware of the ingredients found in the products they use. You may need to explain that you are looking for products that are plant based rather than chemical based.

There are also companies that are working to find alternative products that can clean carpets. Some cleaners are using carbonation. The bubbles in the carbonated water work with the specialized machine to lift out the stains. Some cleaners focus more on using hot steam to clean, rather than any particular solution.

Carpet cleaning is now greener than ever. Find a company that is environmentally friendly.
