Carpet cleaning services do a great job of removing stubborn carpet stains, and they are a great way to periodically give your carpets a deep clean. Some companies, however, can be better for the environment than others. Here are some tips to help you choose an environmentally friendly carpet cleaning service.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Carpet cleaning service
  1. Step 1

    Check out some of your local professional cleaners and ask them a few questions. Ask them what type of cleaners they use, and if they are derived from a chemical or plant source. If they do not know, that is a good indicator that it is probably a chemical base because most companies take pride in natural cleaning agents.

  2. Step 2

    An alternative to chemical cleaners is to use a process that is similar to using club soda to clean a shirt. Chem-Dry is a nationwide carpet cleaning service that uses carbonation to clean carpets while using significantly less water that other cleaners.

  3. Step 3

    Try a steam cleaning service. Steam cleaning only uses water, so it is 100% natural and safe to use around kids, babies and pets. Steam cleaning also kills bacteria and allergens as it cleans.
