Lee: what one place in five it gives the you required results? We give people the option. But in most cases even with Ecogent which is just a bit better than using plain water for a pre spray we do not get satisfactory results. I guess here we just don't get to clean enough clean places. I guess these green cleaners work best in the city?

This is a good topic.... Do the Customers care if it's green???? some say yes some say no. I know every market is different, I'm sure I get more customers giving away free movie passes or pizza vouchers than I will cleaning with certified GREEN products. Jim Darling may be truthful, but there are a lot of other chemical producers that don't list everything on the label. Don't believe everything you read on the label. It's the unknown that is killing us Edited by MR. STEAMER |

I occassionally have customers ask about how safe the chem's I'm using are.
It's more of a personal preference in many situations,if the customer has young children,pets,or medical problems of course I like to clean on the green side. most of all,it's for my own health,I'm breating this stuff in all day 6-7 days a week,getting it on my hands etc. the trick is for me,that I found a green cleaner (even though there are "greener") that works just as well (IMO better) than the harsher kidney failing,lung trashing chem's |

We actually use the First Enviro as a TLC with good results. The men will use that one fiirst with DFC in the machine if necessary. Funny thing about the concerned citizens who want green cleaners, they'll always let you use the firepower on the bad areas.

well if the customer wants green they will live with the natural formulating dirt! To really clean GREEN all you should use is water.... because all the SO CALLED green products contain harmful chemicals..they just aren't listed on the label would I drink GREEN?? Not a chance in hell |

I didn't opt for the podium until I was criticized for my approach. I didn't start this thread to have this conversation. I started this thread to get tips from those experienced with green cleaners (see to the original post). When I mentioned peace of mind, I was referring to the whole sha-bang: cleanliness, safety, everything. This business is often about selling peace of mind. A large number of my clientele don't need carpet rescue--they get their carpet cleaned every six months for the peace of mind of knowing that they are keeping up with it. Why are you on the attack? What gives? I'm not criticizing others for differing with me. I'm just looking for a good niche and the best way to pursue it. Edited by Michael |

Well than what are you selling? I beleive the CRI reccommends carpets be cleaned before they become visible soiled. It sounds more like your customers are supplying you with job security? Wht are you using to determine the six month cleaning?? Are you leaving residue causing the carpets to need cleaning after six months?? Are you just a good salesman and have them believing they need to be cleaned everh six months? share this with us.
