CM/Spotlight: Carpet Care Plus Manufacturing Inc. Green Cleaning Means Caring, Health G Green cleaning means caring and health for Valley Professional Cleaning Service, North Bend, Washington. Owner Brian Duncan’s green cleaning product of choice is soap-free PROCYON. “We strive to do an excellent job at a rea-sonable price, emphasizing health and that PROCYON, our preferred product, has been a leader in the cleaning and environmental-health-protection field for 30 years.” “Unlike many other cleaning firms, we don’t like to give residential or facility clean-ing quotes over the phone,” said Brian. “We like to meet the homeowner or customer, understand their situation, do a pre-inspec-tion, then show how PROCYON Spot & Stain Remover works on a challenging spot.” “As part of our clean for health policy, we strive to diagnose before prescribing. We care about the customer, promote under-standing and may spend an hour educat-ing them.” “It’s show and tell — showing and tell-ing why this is a better way. We explain the product has no fragrance, soap or deter-gents, does not attract soil and, importantly, doesn’t contaminate carpet with chemicals which are later absorbed into the skin of bare feet.” Brian tells customers PROCYON prod-ucts are: ● Safe and nontoxic ● Contain no soap or fragrance ● Leave no residue to attract dirt or pro-duce airborne particles. Deep Green And Deep Clean Valley delivers both Deep Green and Deep Clean benefits using tools such as a Rotovac 360i, an advanced rotating scrubbing sys-tem that improves and makes deep cleaning easier versus the traditional manual carpet wand, combined with PROCYON Extreme! Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning concentrate at proper dilution. Certification of PROCYON provides Valley Professional Cleaning a public-health, green cleaning and science-based advantage as a company that cares about, serves and edu-cates its customers. All of Valley’s cleaning technicians are also certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), so they have strong professional skills and expertise to achieve better, health-ier cleaning. “Having IICRC-Certified technicians and Green Seal GS-37 Certification on PROCYON, helps ensure performance, while protecting human health, our credibility and reputation for excellence,” said Brian. Caring For Vulnerable Populations Valley demonstrates community-minded-ness by routinely providing free cleaning for a nearly 3,000-square-foot senior center with a very vulnerable population, the elderly. Valley Professional’s use of PROCYON’s GS-37 Certified and Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI)-approved products combined with the RotoVac’s effective extraction enables deep cleaning and short drying times with-out odor or chemical exposure; eliminating overwetting and slip or trip hazards from excess moisture, as well as carpet buckling associated with the previous process. Green Seal, Other Credentials Soap-free, hypoallergenic, nontoxic PROCYON was first to be certified under Washington, DC-based Green Seal’s revised GS-37 standard, and was recently re-cer-tified under Green Seal’s more stringent GS-37, 7th Edition. PROCYON meets Green Seal’s strict GS-37 “Environmental Standard for Cleaning Products … based on reduced human and environmental toxicity and reduced volatile organic compound content.” Green Seal’s scientifically rigorous GS-37 Health – Key To The Discussion “While many people ask about green clean-ing, are sensitive to dust and may have con-cerns for kids and pets, they are generally not familiar with the comprehensive nature of Green Seal certification,” said Brian. “We just explain the simple benefits (rather than the science) that our process offers, with health a key point of the discussion.” Green Is Good The green, toxin-free process enables Brian’s night crew to work an entire shift cleaning carpet in a healthful way without concerns for worker or occupant exposure. Green cleaning with PROCYON is not only good for human health, but enables a healthy business too, as Valley’s seven-year-old business continues to expand opera-tions throughout the region.
