How to Use the Green Carpet Cleaning Program
Why a "Green Carpet Cleaning Program"?
Several States (CA, NY, NJ, MA, DC, CT, RI, NH, VT, PA among others) have implemented regulations limiting the amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) for a variety of cleaning and maintenance products. VOC's have been found to be a major contributing factor to ozone, a common air pollutant which has been proven to be a public health hazard, causing nose and skin irritation, rashes, headaches, and even asthma. Concentrations of many VOC's are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors (Source: EPA). The EPA also warns that Indoor Air Quality is the United's States number one environmental health problem. In light of those reinforced regulations and health concerns, we support a company that has responded by creating an excellent and efficient carpet cleaning line that is safe to Humans and Animals and that respects the Environment.Their commitments and accomplishments as a Green Business have been recognized by Co-op America.
