Carpet Cleaning – Go GREEN with Selway Services!



Traditionally, families with small children have their carpets cleaned frequently. Kids can be rough on carpet. Everything from juice and ice cream to playground sand and muddy footprints can get ground into the carpet, leaving them dirty and unattractive. In fact, no matter how many rules are established about no cups without lids in the family room, the grape juice still stains. Requests to remove shoes before entering the house always go unheeded and the dirt and stains seem to find the carpet. Staying on top of the mess, including carpet cleaning, can be a full time job.

Families with new babies especially need clean carpet. No one wants to put a new baby on dirty carpet or, worse, have a crawling infant get their hands dirty while learning a playing or learning to crawl. However, recent reports in the news have led to concerns about the harsh chemicals used in carpet cleaning and the possible health effects. Infants and small children are especially susceptible to strong chemicals. Many parents have actively sought solutions to this scary dilemma. Some have rented bulky machines and tried to find time to clean their own carpets using a variety of green products available in retail stores. Others have gone to extremes and chosen to replace carpet with wood or tile to ensure their family’s safety.

There is another option. Selway Services carpet cleaning, located in Boise Idaho has gone the extra mile for their customers. We have chosen to become Green certified, leading the industry in healthier, greener choices to protect our customers and the planet. Green certified carpet cleaners not only use safe, biodegradable cleaning products but also make every attempt to be environmentally friendly in every aspect of their business, from recycled paper products in the office to energy efficient equipment.

Green certification for carpet cleaning is not an easy process. Paperwork and applications must be properly evaluated, on-site audits must be performed and the company must be regularly monitored to ensure that high standards are upheld. For a carpet cleaning company to obtain their green certification they have to be dedicated professionals who are interested in protecting the environment and their customers. Many families are aware of the how chemicals in the foods we get can affect our bodies, especially those of children. They make the conscious choice to buy organic to protect their family. The same judgment should be used when selecting a certified carpet cleaner. Contact us today for a healthier lifestyle!
