Top 4 Green Carpet Cleaning Myths

1)   Green carpet cleaning solutions do not clean as well as the regular chemicals?

Technology has increased greatly in the world of green cleaning. Plant based solutions that are biodegradable can clean just as well, or even better than some of the harsher chemicals being used.

2)   Going green costs too much…

It’s true that ‘green’ can cost a bit more ‘green’ from your wallet, but not significantly more... Dr Green Carpet Care’s prices are comparable with other reputable, non-green carpet cleaning companies. Yes, there are some companies that will advertise that they can clean an entire home for $70; but that’s another topic entirely. Buyer Beware…

3)   I don’t get that ‘clean’ scent in my carpets after the carpet cleaner leaves.

Well, that ‘clean’ scent that you smell is an artificial deodorizer that a cleaner will spray to mask odors… We don’t use artificial deodorizers as they are not environmentally friendly. What we do leave you is actual clean carpets that the odors have been removed to give you a fresh natural smell to your home. It’s the smell of clean, not strong deodorizers.

4)   I’ve always heard that I need my carpet ‘steam cleaned’ for a thorough clean?

Steam cleaning is essentially ‘pressure washing’ your carpet. If done properly, it can clean carpets very well. Also, if you enjoying wasting 30+ gallons of water to clean an average sized home through steam cleaning methods; then that is a decision that you will personally have to make. Green cleaning technology is advanced to the point where low moisture methods that do not involve steam cleaning and the use of enormous amounts of water have been proven time and time again that it cleans just as well or even better in some situations than steam cleaning. So, if a more eco-friendly process is available at your disposal to use, why choose the environmentally unfriendly option?

The moral of the story is that there really is no excuse NOT to patronize an eco-friendly vendor to clean your carpets… That was fun; have a great day, and STAY GREEN!
