Healthy Carpet Cleaning in San Diego July 27th, 2009

I don’t know about you but my home is my refuge from the pollution and the world outside. I like my air clean, I like the dirt kept outside and I want the chemical exposure kept to a minimum.

The biggest air filter in our homes – our carpets, collect and hold contaminates on a daily basis waiting for you to remove with the vacuum. The sticky, greasy soil that you can’t remove ends up attracts soil and that is when you need me.

Certain carpet fiber types require certain cleaners to break down grease where that particular fiber loves to hold the oily soils. Other fibers are very easy to clean of oily soils but love to stain, while other fibers are very sensitive to what is used to clean them with. The task is to use something that is safe for me,  safe for you and your carpet fibers in order to remove all of that.

Carpet Cleaners have access to many safe cleaning agents today but they require a few additional steps at times in order to achieve what the hazardous speed cleaning chemicals can achieve. I don’t know of too many cleaners that use them anymore because many of us are not only concerned for your health and ours but also for any liability issues.

There have been some great advances in Carpet Cleaning equipment & tools that allow for very thorough flush & rinse of carpets that mean you get optimum cleaning results today. Residues of preconditioners are completely rinsed away. Getting a Green cleaning service with a Green preconditioner applied to your carpets and then completely flushed & rinsed away along with the soil means no more chemical or soap residues left in your carpet.

Our flush & rinse system actually rinses away the residues from your last carpet cleaner, especially if you had the Chemical Dry method used on your carpets last service where there was no extraction process. Although we use much more water in order to get your carpets to a total zero residue clean it is worth it. The old ways of high pressure rinsing with the older tools meant that some of the preconditioners were left deep in the carpet fibers. The dry cleaning methods have always been a culprit at rearranging the soil along with the cleaning chemicals because they have zero extraction capability except for very little absorption.  There is no rinse action with these methods.

Carpet Cleaning doesn’t have to dirty that way, it can be healthy and safe. Keeping the bad chemicals out the equation just for the sake of saving a little more time is a good thing for you and for us. All of our residential service is Truck Mounted Steam Cleaning. We always use a High Flow Flush & Rinse system to leave your home healthier than it was before we got there.

Our definition of  “Clean” is the true definition and this is why our service is much slower than the last that you may have had. New clients all the time are perplexed when they get a 2.5 – 3 hour service estimate. Like I said, it’s all about the Flush & Rinse not the Splash & Dash or the Dry Clean Scrub & Run.

The Green Carpet Cleaning Sensation September 21st, 2008

There are a lot of definitions of “Green” and it has become a new cult religion with Al Gore as it’s  $$$ prospering guru. Everyone wants Green regardless whether it is or not because it makes them feel like they did something good.

In the carpet cleaning world I define it this way: Maintaining cleaning standards by using “Human Safe” products and eliminating any cleaning residues! There are so called “Green” products that are not Human Safe but they are acceptable for the environment. Citrus Cleaners contain a natural solvent that are harmful to us but natural to the planet so are many other poisons. Certain Chemicals are considered to be green since they do not bother the environment. These type of green cleaners contain warnings & hazards to us.

There are methods of carpet cleaning that involve Floor Buffers that many call Dry Carpet Cleaning. A chemical is applied to the carpet and buffed into the carpet with the dirt. They use a nylon bonnet on the bottom of the machine to buff with and will claim that this removes the dirt but common sense says not so! They claim this Green Carpet Cleaning because they arrived to your home with a small fuel efficient vehicle since carrying a Floor Buffer doesn’t require a large vehicle and the method of what they claim -  cleaning only requires a couple gallons of water. Sure the carbon foot print is smaller while using your electricity to clean with (which requires fuel at the other end) and  they are proud to have saved water. But at what expense to you?

We take the approach that we are providing a Human Safe & Hygiene service. Removing the the dirt, pet urine, feces, bacteria and everything else that exists in your carpet is important to your indoor environmental health. This requires water.  By applying our “true” Green & Organic or Non-Toxic cleaning solutions to your carpet & then flushing, rinsing and extracting all of that away with water we leave you without the typical chemical residues. I don’t have to worry about working with hazardous chemicals and you don’t have to worry about hazardous cleaning chemical residues.

Everything that we use is carefully checked by the ingredients list and the MSDS sheet. Since Green sells & is big money it is up to us to do our own research and verification and use common sense.

I’m not a Green Freak by any means, I just don’t like nasty chemicals  and since my job involves being around that kind of thing I have made the choice & commitment to find a better way. This requires an assortment of specialty tools and methods.

When we come to your home we evaluate the carpet fiber type, soil condition and your special health requirements. Then we apply the correct cleaning solution that is either completely Natural/Organic, our Green solution or our Non-Toxic solution for those extreme dirty situations.

Whatever we use you count on Human Safe products first & then for the environment. Trust me on this – If it is Human Safe then it is environmentally safe! If it was all labeled that way then there wouldn’t be such a mystery.
