Most local carpet cleaning businesses, have greened-up their processes in recent years. If you require your carpets to be cleaned, call around and ask questions. If a company doesn’t know if their cleaning solution is plant or chemical based, or they don’t have a system in place to treat or transport wastewater after cleaning, then they should be avoided.
Always ask questions before hiring any carpet cleaning company. If you have heavily soiled carpets, ask them if the eco- products they use will be able to handle this kind of stain. And if not what would they recommend. Some stains require more than one cleaning, to ensure your carpet is restored to its former glory. If this is the case ask your carpet cleaner of this proceedure. As they may need to soak the stains over night. Coming back in the morning to complete the job.
