What is Green Carpet Cleaning?



The carpet cleaning industry has been innovative in adding powerful equipment and chemical solutions that can remove any type of stain. However, many carpet cleaning companies have been unconscious of the method of cleaning they employ in so far as the environment and health of the homeowners are concerned.  

As a homeowner with carpet, you should be careful in choosing a carpet cleaning service provider when you choose professional cleaning. It is recommended that you hire a company that has a green carpet cleaning policy. 

A green cleaning company must use harmless chemicals deep into the pile of carpets and rugs and must remove the dirt and grime using safe and environment-friendly equipment. The workers who will deal with your carpet should be professionally trained in handling the stain.

The cleaning method used to deal with synthetic carpet should not be used with highly expensive Persian or Chinese rug. Using the same method will be disastrous as it will just lead to the destruction of the precious carpet. 

Interestingly, there have been new materials in the industry that could protect the carpet from future staining. 

The new material that should be used is acrylic polymer. This is known to be highly effective and environment-friendly. This is highly recommended because it can be used for commercial carpet and areas of the home that have heavy traffic. For example, the areas that have high traffic are the dining room, halls, stairs, and lounges.

There are many green cleaning products available on the market today. The demand of such product has been largely fueled by the growing consciousness of home and business owners of the importance of green cleaning. However, carpet cleaners should be aware of the ingredients of these products because some are just claiming to be green when in fact they are not. 


When you hire a carpet cleaning company, make sure to ask the method and cleaning solutions they use so you know upfront if they can provide green cleaning for your carpet or not. It is very important to ask them upfront, so you will not have regret later. 

Although it is hard to find a company that uses green cleaning, you should be resourceful by looking for one in the phone book or online. Make sure to read credible reviews of the company before calling them in. With carpet green cleaning, you won’t go wrong. Aside from protecting your health, you also protect the environment.
