In this article we would like to discuss the fuss over detergents.
Should we use them or not? Should we go green? In the real world of professional carpet cleaning
even the toughest of stains can be a challenge to remove, yet no fuss
is made over the chemicals that came together to make a stain. Are
those stains always green? Obviously not. So, why all the fuss over
using chemicals that have so-called pollutants in them? Because many
experts in the cleaning and restoration
industry as well as the media and various support organizations have
seen another bandwagon to jump on and make money. Now, don't get us
wrong, green cleaning certainly does have its place in our world. Many
suffer from allergies and need steam carpet cleaning that might be of a
milder nature. They might be allergic to certain chemicals or maybe
even grown an allergic reaction to them. Something in the industry
known MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). But, does that mean that the
chemicals used by carpet cleaning companies is necessarily all bad?
No. Many customers have no problem with normal professional grade
chemicals. Carpet cleaning
is an art. It takes time, determination, skill, and professionalism to
get a carpet looking its best. Since no two set of circumstances are
alike it is up to the customer and the carpet cleaning contractor
to discuss what methods and/or products that will be used. Certainly,
green cleaning as we know it, should be an option if desired. However,
regular chemicals have been used for years and certainly assist with
getting the job done right and in most cases with no problems. So while
the push is on to go green, let's not forget that for aeons of time in
the cleaning and restoration industry these are chemicals that got the
job done!
