The earth is our only home.  The cleaner we can make it, the better home it is.  For our children and for ourselves.  At Tru-Clean Carpet & Tile Care we strive to deliver our clients the safest, strongest and most effective green cleaning solutions available anywhere.  We believe in the future and want to make it a healthier one, for our children and yours.

With global climate change becoming a significant social issue, people are more aware of how their daily choices affect the environment. In particular, they are increasingly concerned about how energy production using fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas impacts the environment, and in turn our future quality of life.  

There is a growing movement of environmentally conscious and well-informed consumers who are making choices for their future in a whole new way, choices based on whether or not the products and services they use are earth-friendly, safe, produced, recyclable and energy efficient. This includes cleaning products and services. 

Going green is about embracing the principals of environmental responsibility and making different choices to lessen your impact on the environment.  

What is “Green Cleaning?”

Green cleaning is the use of products AND services that reduce the health and environmental impact compared to similar non-green products and services. The goal of green cleaning is to protect the health of building occupants, visitors and families across the nation, as well as reduce polluting affects to our air and water. Unlike traditional carpet cleaning companies, Tru-Clean Carpet & Tile Care uses green cleaning solutions that go far beyond simple appearance.  

Going Beyond Green Cleaning

What good are green cleaning products if the way they are manufactured or delivered to your home is harmful to the environment?  Tru-Clean Carpet & Tile Care has been “green” since the day we opened for business.  We just didn’t jump “on the band wagon” because “green” is now being accepted by many consumers as the right thing to do.  As are our clients, we’re concerned about our environment and ask ourselves

Unlike many carpet cleaners in our tri-county area who advertise they are now “green” because they use “green chemicals,” the simple fact is that they’re not doing all they can to protect the environment.  Sure, any carpet cleaning company can purchase green cleaning solutions and advise clients they are receiving a “green cleaning” but if the carpet cleaner’s truck is sitting in your driveway with its gasoline engine running while they’re cleaning your carpets or tile, how is this environmentally responsible?

According to the EPA, gasoline and diesel emissions are threats to the environment, not to mention dangerous.  There are documented cases where carpet cleaning vans were left running in customer’s driveways and the truck has actually exploded! 

Tru-Clean Carpet & Tile Care goes far beyond green cleaning solutions in positing ourselves as an environmentally responsible company.  Our powerful cleaning technologies use electricity to operate – NOT GASOLINE – therefore there are no emissions into the air we breathe nor are there any chances of an explosion in front of our client’s homes. 

When purchasing green cleaning solutions we investigate the manufacturer to make sure they are also acting in an environmentally responsible manner.  In manufacturing, what’s left behind after a product is produced is called its footprint.  Car manufacturers leave behind mineral quarries stripped of iron ore down to the earth’s bone.  Makers of plastic need petroleum, which means mile after mile of oil fields pumping crude oil out of the ground.  For many people, just the word “manufacturing” conjures up images of smoke stacks spewing pollution into the air.  That is their footprint.

We purchase our cleaning solutions from Planet Guard where every process used to create their products has a minimal impact on the surrounding air, water and land.  Our product containers are not only recyclable; they are made from recycled materials.  By demanding higher levels of manufacturing standards, we feel we can make an even bigger contribution to our environment.

Can Carpet Cleaners change the world?

We can try.
