Hey all, I just wanted to tell all, I switched to green chems for cleaning carpets and its great. I am going to be trying this on cleaning tile & grout. I have heard good things on using this on tile. I started having some allergy reactions with some of the other chems i was using. I had a customer kinda put everything in perspective for me. I know this post probably wont mean much to some. But we have to look out for ourselves and our customers. Thanks Stan

Thanks for Joining the Green movement Stan, the more people who come on board the smaller footprint we will have on the earth as a whole.

Are you guys finding cleansers that work as well as non-green cleaners? Most everything we try requires more elbow grease and costs triple. Point me to where the cleaners that WORK are and don't cost triple. Also, hesitent to claim green cleaning if in fact it isn't. FTC frowns on marketing using those claims without solid proof that it really is "Green"

Hey FC, The cleaner for carpets,tile & grout,all purpose cleaner i get thru ccsop.com. They are real close to you you in KY. The msds sheet says all 0 except for reactivity is one. You can go to there web and see what you think. It has a phone # on there site. John and Patty are great people to deal with. And they use what they sell everyday. I just had to start being carefull of what i use. ( headaches, runny nose, sore throat,etc) My wife cleans houses and im trying real hard to get her to make the change. P.S T, wanted to thank you for the forms you sent us awhile back. They was a big help. Thanks Stan

I am very pleased with the results of the green seal approved
"green cleaners" that we use. Price wise they are just about the same if not less than the other non green products since they are sold in concentrates and we add the water.

Thanks for the information. We also use green and organic cleaning products, not only are they better for the environment but they actually work a lot better than all the products that are filled with chemicals.

HI, I believe that home made cleaners are green cleaning.

I use vinegar for cleaning my home and trust me its really very good. If you are going to clean your pots and pans, and even your floor, you can make your own homemade cleaner. Mix baking soda, vinegar and liquid detergent together to create a thick and creamy paste texture. This mixture will allow you to clean and scrub difficult areas, and your pots and pans as well.

It is not much expensive and also totally harmless to environment as well as to us.

Thanks,
Green cleaning services

I am a strong supporter of eco-friendly cleaning ( see http://ecocleaning.blogspot.com ) but let's not put ourselves up for ridicule by the non-believers by referring to certain products as "full of chemicals".

Every creature on this planet, every plant and the planet itself is full of chemicals!

Chemicals are not necessarily villains. Acetic acid does not cease to become a chemical compound just because we often refer to it as vinegar, just as sodium bicarbonate by any other name is still a sodium salt.

And what about dihydrogen monoxide, a chemical that kills many thousands of people every year - is that another villain? Or maybe just something every cleaner uses at work then uses to wash their bodies!

How about just using natural water without any chemicals to be the most green way of cleaning? <a href="http://www.cleancaresolution.com">toronto commercial cleaning</a>

I use Bonairre steam. It has carpet attachment to clean furniture, mattresses, carpets to kill the harmful bacteria, fungus, chemicals, dust, food particles, germs, pollens, grease, gravel, pet stains, soot, and tar. Same is in mattresses as well as dust mites and bed bugs.
