You see this from time to time, are they (the competition) really cleaning green, and does it work?
There is either no definition of green, or there are hundreds of definitions of green, so the term is essentially meaningless. (Or meaningful in a narrow slice of reality.)
I just ask to see the color of the money.
OK, from now on: Naive Kolton.Call me naive, but I'd take the "Green Seal" organization etc. word over the manufacturer's word, every single freaking day of the week and that includes bloody Monday.
That's it, I'm changing my business name to Kermit's carpet care. Green uniforms and vans.

GreenSeal standards were written by Sierra Club members who told us to use cold water because water is heated by coal and coal is bad. Why bother with an organization too lazy to learn anything about the industry they attempt to control?
I'll trust the industry-specific manufacturers for our chems, simply because the industry is too small for them to survive getting caught cheating. Easy to look up the components listed on the SDS and compare them to the list Tom mentioned.
Yep, Brown is the color I'm looking for. Brown cleaning, that's where it's at. Just use Procyon and don't worry, be happy.
No green bias in Canada.

Ask the Bio Green Baby Eco guys what makes them so and the first answer is "We've gone paperless" and or "We recycle"

I totally agree, my health is far greater. It's not worth it to use a heavy duty cleaner, for a customer will wait 3 years to have cleaned until it looks dirty again.I am a cleaner who wants to use safer products because I am the guy who has the most exposure to the chemicals. I have chosen Procyon as my go to product for 90 percent of my cleaning endeavors, unless some one out there can point me in a safer direction.
Good answer Larry.
Though the "dry-cleaning" protocol (correct me if I'm wrong, as I am making an assumption here) refers to an in- plant contained environment. Not sprayed in the open (say their entire carpet) where substantial inhalation is likely to happen. And solvent evaporation is far from instantaneous.
