Green Balance Cleaning – How? A Step-by-Step Process

It’s about Cleaning Green, not just Green Cleaning Cleaning Green is a process, not just a new cleaning solution. The following steps help assure the cleaning experience is not only healthful and beneficial but safe for you, your client and their family and for the environment.

1.Maintain control of the environment being cleaned. Do not allow children or pets to be present during the spraying of cleaning solutions. Keep control over your cleaning equipment and cleaning solutions at all times. The Green Balance Cleaning Green Process

2.Maintain proper ventilation and airflow in the environment being cleaned. The Green Balance Cleaning Green Process

3.Pre-vacuum the carpeted area to be cleaned with a vacuum with a high efficiency collection bag or filter. Fine particles can pass through standard filters. These very small particles pose the greatest potential threat. Get them out of the carpet and out of the home. The Green Balance Cleaning Green Process

4.Always pretest the carpet to be cleaned for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area.

Testing sponsored by the EPA demonstrated the sanitizing effect of carpet cleaning when the extraction solution strikes the carpet at 130 O F or above.

For Portable Extractors: For best results with extreme soiling conditions mix 1:64 (2 oz. Green Balance Rinse to 1 gallon of water). For normal soiling mix 2 ounces of Green Balance Rinse for each 5 gallons of water. For Truckmounts: Mix one quart of Green Balance Rinse (32 ounces) with 5 gallons of water in stock solution container. Set flow meter between 2 and 3.
