Carpet Care: It's Green...And Performs
We are all getting much more conscious of our impact on the environment —and that applies to carpet cleaners as well.
For instance, John Anderson, a carpet cleaning veteran in Portland, Oregon, has transferred from a heavy truck-mount to a portable hot-water carpet extractor to help cut down on gas consumption.
Additionally, he has selected a low-moisture portable extractor that reduces water consumption by as much as two-thirds.
The extractor Anderson purchased: the Solus 500 from U.S. Products.
“With the Solus 500, I’m doing my part in protecting our environment,” says Anderson. “And, interestingly, it’s helping my business as well.”
Why? Many of his customers are attuned to the “Green” movement and appreciate the steps Anderson is taking.
They also like the results.
The Solus 500 is a performance machine. In fact, it is the first portable extractor to have earned the Gold Certification from Carpet and Rug Institute’s Seal of Approval program for deep-cleaning extractors.
“Green is good and with the Solus 500, it’s Gold too,” says Anderson. “With the Solus 500, I get a Green machine that leaves my customers’ carpets looking great.”
