Actually I find the smarter people think you are, the more they expect from you, that's why my CC van is going to be a decommissioned short bus and I am going to have a PSW run my wand for me! !gotcha!Dipwad GC said:
but I found it very ironic that in one post you're saying how your life is so tough and you hardly make enough to get dinner, and the very next post you're giving someone advice on how to run their business...I dunno...
Hey Green Guuuurl....can you answer any of the technical questions people asked you guys here? I know Green Guy said he'd be back later to do it, but you run the show sometimes...What chemicals and equipment do you guys use?

Our Philosophy
For many years consumers and professionals alike have focused on the aesthetics or how carpeting looks. But what is the function of carpet? Is it just something to walk on that looks nice when it's clean? Consider this, like the liver in our bodies, carpeting acts as a filter as air circulates in doors. Everything that comes into our bodies eventually reaches into our liver. Likewise, everything in an indoor airspace gets filtered and trapped in our carpeting. there are germs, bacteria, enviromental pollutants, and allergens like dustmites. Dustmites are micro-organisms that feed on human skin and pet dander.
Note: Did you know that approximately 90% of the dust indoors is human skin?
"Dustmites can trigger allergy and asma attacks. Dustmites are everywhere especially on carpets, upholstery, and stuffed toys," according to the EPA. The fact is that homes and businesses have bigger problems than just visibly dirty carpet. Rarely does the average carpet cleaner know how to address issues of indoor air quality. Under the current status quo our industry paints a car that needs a new engine. The average carpet cleaner is under educated in our industry, uninformed in terms of product toxicity, and is therefore downright dangerous! His products can make carpet look "clean" but pose risk factors that far out weigh any benefits. We believe that leaving our customers in an indoor air space that is comprimised is unfair and outdated, even if the textiles look amazing.
They should look virtually like new if cleaned carefully and professionaly, however, indoor air quality should be significantly improved as well.
Go Green has updated an industry that hasn't changed much since the 1950's. Our evolution cleaning system as well as continued research and product development will change industry standards permantly. Knowing that our contemporary's opperate under the archaic supposition that visibly cleaner carpet is what the world needs and believing their "chemicals" are safe, we have no choice but to be the voice for the people. At Go Green we are bent toward the facts; and the fact is that technicians and consumers are being harmed by this industry.
The toxic substances control act of 1976 gave chemical manufacturers the right to hide harmful ingredients. Look, the realty is that cancer causing ingredients, nuerotoxins, and ingredients that cause kidney and liver damage as well as reproductive harm are being used by uncespecting technicians daily. We have been experementing with raw ingredients for some time now with incredible results.
Don't ask me what products we are using, it's proprietary! You wouldn't ask Mcdonalds what's in the special sauce when you order a big mac do you?
PM me and I don't mind pointing you in the right direction for green products.

For many years consumers and professionals alike have focused on the aesthetics or how carpeting looks. But what is the function of carpet? Is it just something to walk on that looks nice when it's clean? Consider this, like the liver in our bodies, carpeting acts as a filter as air circulates in doors. Everything that comes into our bodies eventually reaches into our liver. Likewise, everything in an indoor airspace gets filtered and trapped in our carpeting. there are germs, bacteria, enviromental pollutants, and allergens like dustmites. Dustmites are micro-organisms that feed on human skin and pet dander.
Note: Did you know that approximately 90% of the dust indoors is human skin?
"Dustmites can trigger allergy and asma attacks. Dustmites are everywhere especially on carpets, upholstery, and stuffed toys," according to the EPA. The fact is that homes and businesses have bigger problems than just visibly dirty carpet. Rarely does the average carpet cleaner know how to address issues of indoor air quality. Under the current status quo our industry paints a car that needs a new engine. The average carpet cleaner is under educated in our industry, uninformed in terms of product toxicity, and is therefore downright dangerous! His products can make carpet look "clean" but pose risk factors that far out weigh any benefits. We believe that leaving our customers in an indoor air space that is comprimised is unfair and outdated, even if the textiles look amazing.
They should look virtually like new if cleaned carefully and professionaly, however, indoor air quality should be significantly improved as well.
Go Green has updated an industry that hasn't changed much since the 1950's. Our evolution cleaning system as well as continued research and product development will change industry standards permantly. Knowing that our contemporary's opperate under the archaic supposition that visibly cleaner carpet is what the world needs and believing their "chemicals" are safe, we have no choice but to be the voice for the people. At Go Green we are bent toward the facts; and the fact is that technicians and consumers are being harmed by this industry.
The toxic substances control act of 1976 gave chemical manufacturers the right to hide harmful ingredients. Look, the realty is that cancer causing ingredients, nuerotoxins, and ingredients that cause kidney and liver damage as well as reproductive harm are being used by uncespecting technicians daily. We have been experementing with raw ingredients for some time now with incredible results.

For those that want "Green" Cleaning solutions I have been buying them for over 15 years from these guys in Omaha;
http://www.cleanenvironmentco.com/index.htm
They are great people and have been supplying the national parks that have very stringent definitions of what they allow.
Many of the products are for general/Janitorial cleaning. They are very safe. Most are made from food grade ingredients and they offer them for a fair price.(unlike some on-line"Green" products that are grossly overpriced.)
BTW: many of use have been treating homes for dustmites/allergens for over 20 years. You didn't stumble on anything new with your brainfart.
Carpets are filters bla , bla , bla, very old information. We have been saying this since before you were out of diapers.

Yes as i have sED many times on here...the human body sheds many pounds of skin per year...
now depending on how many people IN the house....
how many hours are spent by each person in that house...
over a years span there can be untold pounds of dED skin cells in yor carpet.....
and i havn't even mentioned the SNOT...BOOGERS and OTHER body fluids that find their way into yor carpet!
Don't be sorry Dan. They just have a hard time answering simple cleaning questions because they can't stop writing about themselves long enough to type the words needed to actually answer the question.
There are only 24 hours in the day for them to admire themselves and then spread the word about how great they are and how lucky the world is to have them in it. That's waaaaaayy more important than answering cleaning questions or fixing something as unimportant as a BBB "F" rating.
