The Benefits Of Green Carpet Cleaning

The green carpet cleaning revolution is here and its benefits are plentiful and easy to see. For years home owners have had to rely on toxic chemicals in order to get the toughest stains out of their rugs. Many professionals have also relied on these chemicals to aid in their services, but now an alternative is available.

The biggest issue with the use of chemical agents is their potential harm to those who live in the house where the service occurred but also can have devastating effects on the health of those that actually have to clean the rugs. The health hazards linked to the use of these chemicals can cause allergies, asthma, immune disorders and potentially even cancer.

The most obvious benefit of choosing a greener method is the one for your family. Children and pets love to either play on the rug or at the very least roll around on it. Children and pets do not understand the potential harm that chemical residues can have on their health. These chemical residues can be left over as a result of the chemicals used during the process. Switching to a safer process also means eliminating any potential health issues during the process, eliminating the harmful impacts.

Chemical residue is not the only problem with the current process. Those chemicals are mixed with water, the more water used the wetter the rug will get, extending the drying time. The longer it takes to dry the more potential for the formation of mold. Greener solutions need less water, meaning your carpets will dry quicker. The less water used will also have the added benefit of increasing the life span of your rug. Water causes damage to carpets, the less of it used during the actual process the longer the rugs in your home will last.
