Give Your Carpets a Breath of Fresh Air

Over time, carpets attract all the dirt brought to them on the bottom of hundreds of feet. The dirt sinks to the base of the carpet and often is not easily seen. However, it is still there and continues to release pathogens into the indoor air. This is why it’s important to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year.

The question is, why change the dirt toxins for chemical toxins? Your best option is to have your carpet cleaned with eco-friendly products. If you are looking for Green Choice Carpet Cleaning of New Jersey, it is important to ask what type of cleaning products are used. Professional carpet cleaners also use cleaning products that are good for the environment and do not pollute your indoor air quality.

The Top Five Benefits of Green Cleaning

• The traditional carpet cleaning chemicals release harmful fumes into the air that may cause dizziness, nausea and worse symptoms in people who have respiratory problems. Green products do not release these toxins and are safer for children and pets that live closer to the carpet.

• The toxic chemicals used to clean carpets are washed into the groundwater, soil and water supply. They can harm humans, animals and plants. Green products are biodegradable and safe for the environment even when they are washed into the ground.

• Green products clean just as effectively as traditional toxic chemicals with the added bonus that they don’t leave behind any toxic residue deep in your carpet.

• Your carpets will last longer if they are cleaned with green products because they are gentler on your carpet. The cleaning process requires less water than traditional chemicals, which helps keep your carpet from fading.

• Because they use less water, they require a fraction of the drying time toxic chemicals need. Rather than waiting a day or two for the carpet to dry, you’ll only need to wait an hour or two.

The green carpet cleaning process uses substances that are safe, and many are found in your own kitchen. Common salt, soda ash and citric acid are a few of the products green cleaners’ use. These products are certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute, Environmental Choice and Green Seal. You’ll be confident that your home is as clean deep within the carpet as it looks on the surface. Carpets also exhale fumes, and green cleaning gives your carpets a breath of fresh air.
