Conventional Carpet Cleaning

It may not be something that we think about every day, but choosing the right carpet cleaning service for your home or office isn’t just important for keeping up appearances – it may protect the health of you and your loved ones. Even though all carpet maintenance companies claim to get your carpet ‘clean’, what you don’t know may potentially hurt you – traditional carpet cleaners use a variety of dangerous chemicals when treating your rugs and carpets. In fact, these cleansers have been directly linked to a number of health issues, including respiratory disorders, asthma, allergies, sinus problems, eye, nose and throat irritation, and in extreme cases, even nervous system complications. Furthermore, if your rugs are cleaned using standard procedures and not properly ventilated afterwards, the fumes may continue to wreak havoc on your health.

Below, a few of the dangerous chemicals found in standard carpet cleaning products that should be avoided at all costs:

• Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (EGBE): Also known as 2-Butoxyethanol, this hazardous chemical may trigger a number of health risks, including eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation, and even burns if handled incorrectly. In addition, EGBE emits noxious fumes that may result in adverse effects to the nervous system upon accidental inhalation or repeated exposure.
• Naphthalene: This chemical (also referred to as antimite or naphthalin) is the bi-product of coal tar, and is most commonly known as the main ingredient in mothballs. In fact, the EPA has determined Naphthalene detrimental to the central nervous system of humans and a known carcinogen.
• Perchloroethylene (also known as “PERC”): This colorless, non-flammable liquid is used throughout the cleaning industry and may cause a variety of harmful side-effects, including fatigue, dizziness and even nausea if inhaled or accidentally ingested. According to the CDC (The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), this poisonous solvent has been linked to kidney and liver damage.

The Benefits of Going Organic

As we have discussed, there is an assortment of harmful ingredients found in many of the carpet cleaning products we use to keep our rugs, carpeting and upholstery sanitized and looking their best. Although some of these cleansers provide a ‘clean’ carpet, using organic and all-natural carpet cleaning treatments is much safer in the long run – for the environment and ultimately for your health. Because carpeting normally covers a large surface area, using traditional carpet cleaning techniques may result in toxic emissions, adversely affecting the air quality and leading to the aforementioned health risks. However, GreenChoice effectively treats spots, stains and ground-in dirt found on heavy-traffic areas on your carpet or upholstery, while using green cleaning methods to safely remove deep-set dust, allergens and other pollutants. When you choose eco-friendly carpet cleaning services, you’re going way beyond clean – you are choosing a safe, earth-conscious alternative that benefits the well-being of our planet and our health, now and for generations to come.
