FibermarkMTC’s thoughts are that “Green Cleaning” is the way all cleaning should be performed. The problem we as cleaners are faced with is the “green” products just do not clean nearly as well as our regular cleaning products. Coincidentally, almost all companies have made huge changes to make their lines of products s green as possible. California has made it much more difficult to actually purchase products that can harm the environment, ozone and the health of people and animals alike. Essentially, all of the good stuff us cleaners relied upon have been discontinued or outlawed by now. Dry cleaners, solvents, aerosol products, oil based products are all being replaced with items which are more water soluble and easily rinsed by water-based products. Cleaning products in general as a whole have been changing for a better and safer environment for over the past ten years.
Being in this business for over 37 years my clients trust when I explain the following. In order to remove the red wine, the dog urine or feces stains, permanent marker from rugs and furniture, we have to use products which would not always be considered 100% environmentally friendly. Although, we “ALWAYS” completely rinse and flush out the products in which we are using to leave as little product behind as possible. We do work with a line of 100% environmentally friendly products if desired. However, please realize if you do not wish any other product used, our success will be a little more limited. But, your wishes will be carried out as desired. We work for you!
