All you ' Green Clean " fanatics who just follow without question, reason, & motive are like sheep on a path to the slaughter house. I admit the dangers out there of caustic cleaning agents, their overuse, precautions one must take when using them. Only an over exposure will cause any ill effects over many years. I hardly think the carpet cleaning or general cleaning industry represents an over exposure to said chemicals.

Green clean advocates and http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=environmentalists - environmentalists  are fast to jump and hitch a ride on the bandwagon having NO clue as to what the real issues are. All the while you environmentalists drive cars, take public transport buses that spew mega tons of pollution into the air you want to protect, fill your bodies up with coffee, beer, meat,cigarette smoke, sugar, & alcohol. You live in air tight toxic homes, decorate with plush carpets, fancy paint, wallpaper, toxic drapes, and then worry about BUTYL CELLOSOLVE because Jim Darling says it's no good any more 'cause he has D.F.C now, but unfortunately as per our cleaning guru Don Eldred who has purchased 65 cases of the stuff says it only cleans clean carpets and surfaces that are not dirty.

Strange thing is that I have some stuff that comes out of my tap at home for free that does the same thing, except it actually cleans dirty things like spills, dog piss, vomit, dirt, and for 10 cents I have a thing called soap that gets the nasty stuff out.

Wrong again, show me were I said it only cleans clean carpets or surfaces, I have said on many an occasion that it does not work well on trashed carpets or greasy restaurants.  I believe I have said that about 75% of jobs are now cleaned with DFC 105 only.

WE use Abstraction "green" cleaning products on the worst carpets we can find, if you think they don't work, you simply haven't tried them

Sure, they may take a few minutes dwell time, but after that they are incredibly powerful.

This carpet was cleaned with Abstraction VLM
