Non Toxic Carpet Cleaning
Carpet is something that you not only walk on, but you sit on it and play around on it, too. Walking around barefoot should be carefree. But take a look down at your carpet. When was the last time it was cleaned? Not vacuumed, but really cleaned. If you can’t remember, it might be time to consider having your carpets professionally cleaned. Many companies are now offering a non toxic carpet cleaning which means that there are no harsh chemicals or allergens that will create rashes or breathing problems.
Easy Remedy Non Toxic Carpet Cleaning
If you’ve got a few little stains that you want to lift up, there are several pantry items that are non toxic and will get the stain out just as well as those expensive chemicals at the grocery store. These include:
- Corn starch
- Baking soda
- Club soda
- Bar soap
Applying any of these to your carpet will usually get the stain out and you don’t have to worry about a child or pet coming in contact with it because it is a household item that won’t cause any problems if potentially ingested.
Professional Non Toxic Carpet Cleaning
Finding a professional non toxic carpet cleaning company is a lot easier than it used to be. When a company is using a non toxic product, they will often market it using different terms such as:
- Eco
- Environmentally friendly
- Green
Any of these tags usually guarantee that their products are all natural and non toxic, but it’s important to still inquire so that you have your bases covered.
Another important aspect of a cleaning company will be the method in which they clean your carpets. The choices are dry cleaning and wet cleaning. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
A dry cleaning method uses a dry compound or polymer that is brushed into the carpet. There are non toxic dry products that can be used so as not to cause allergies or other problems. This method doesn’t require any water (or minimal) so the drying time is virtually null.
The other method is a wet cleaning method that uses chemicals or shampoos that are brushed into the carpet and rinsed out. There are many non toxic, all natural products on the market for this method and can easily be found. The downside to this method is that it takes longer to dry – often up to four hours depending upon the actual product and carpet weight.
Non toxic carpet cleaning is a great way to provide a safe and environmentally friendly solution to your family. You’ll be able to breathe better and walk around and play on the carpets without worrying about dangerous toxins on your skin or clothes. In addition, the carpet will look great, feel softer, and smell better than ever before. Carpets should be cleaned on a regular basis to prolong the life of them so that they don’t need to be replaced before they are due. Carpet has a finite life, but it doesn’t have to be a short one.
