Why is discharging wastewater from carpet cleaning a concern?

Carpet cleaning creates wastewater that includes chemicals from the cleaning formula as well as waste products such as grease and organic matter from the carpet itself. Many chemicals currently used are highly alkaline and aggressive enzymes and disinfectants which if used or managed improperly can cause harm to humans and the environment.

A standard cleaning formula may contain a high concentration of sodium bicarbonate and lower concentrations of sodium citrate, sodium phosphate, sodium silicate, anionic surfactant, and nonionic surfactant. Some specialized cleaners also contain various forms of butyl, such as butyloxy ethanol (also known as butyl cellusolve) used in the "dry" cleaning method of carpet cleaning. This chemical can damage the central nervous system, kidneys, liver and blood.

Wastewater is attributed to the facility or residence where it is generated, therefore, if the wastewater is not being collected and hauled off site for proper disposal, the carpet cleaner must obtain permission from the facility or residence owner to dispose of the water at the cleaning site.

We clean what other cleaners can’t. Because we use multiple cleaning methods: Truck mounted extraction, High Flow Extraction, and Minimal Moisture processes, we can clean in a wide range of environments. If you have areas that need minimal down time after cleaning, are very hard to reach, or are near moisture sensitive equipment, we have a process available to get them clean. 

Maintain Today, Sustain Tomorrow. Floor Care Solutions has a commitment to sustainable business practices, or a way of operating that minimizes our impact on the natural environment.

Many companies are following sustainable building practices, using programs like The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® as a guide.

But many people don’t realize that the way you maintain that new “green” facility matters, too. Floor Care Solutions’ processes and products are designed to have low environmental impact. And Floor Care Solutions’ proprietary carpet cleaning system has been shown to remove up to 99 percent of the pollutants from your carpet – keeping them from becoming airborne.

We believe operating in this way is our responsibility, but we also know that sustainability makes good business sense. Read more to learn about our philosophy, as well as how we can help you cut costs and improve your business’s efficiency and worker satisfaction.

Cradle to Cradle Lifecycle In their book Cradle to Cradle, world-renowned architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart set forth an ambitious, forward-thinking philosophy for creating sustainable business that is also profitable. By reusing materials and reducing waste, corporations can operate more efficiently while also maintaining profitability.

At Floor Care Solutions, we’ve put this theory into practice. We use cleaning materials that are non-toxic and biodegradable, but also highly effective. Our proprietary carpet cleaning system has been shown to remove up to 99 percent of the pollutants from your carpet – keeping them from becoming airborne. When used with a properly maintained HVAC system, Floor Care Solutions will help keep your air free of the things you don’t want to breathe, which can keep employees healthier and increase worker productivity.

Our processes preserve the capital investment you have in the materials that we clean, keeping your carpet and textiles looking newer, longer – and out of a landfill. And our dry carpet cleaning process doesn’t use the large amounts of hot water that other methods require, so we use less fresh water, and make less waste water.
Improve your indoor air quality = improve your worker performance
Preserve your carpet and textiles = preserve your capital investment
Lower water usage = lower utility usage

So you can feel good about using Floor Care Solutions’ services. We take care to have only a positive impact on the natural environment outside, as well as the working environment inside.

A sustainable business, like the natural world, takes care to reuse materials and produce less waste, operating more efficiently.
