is simply an incredibly powerful way of getting your carpets clean. Oxi Fresh is one of the few carpet cleaning businesses out there trying to put this idea forward. You can actually get great, clean carpets without having to resort to caustic, toxic

chemicals.

The system uses a combination of various cleaning products which actually work to dig the dirt, grease, stains, mold, and mildew right out of a carpet without using a single toxic chemicals. To put it simply, it's a little bit like exfoliating. You know those facial cleanser products you can get with tiny little sponge-like particles that absorb the grease from your pores? Oxygenated carpet cleaning works kind of like that.

This system allows Oxi Fresh to remain an organic carpet cleaning company. By using dry powder and water, and then tiny sponges to soak up the dirt, the system manages to get all the mess off or your carpet without having to use a single soap or detergent.

The process is topped off by the powerful cleaning machine, which uses circular spinning scrubbers to dig right down to the bottom of the carpet pile, scrubbing away at the fibers themselves as well as the base of the carpet. This gets a little deeper than a simple carpet shampooer, in that it doesn't just pick the dirt up off the top, it literally chases the dirt right down to the bottom of the floor where

it likes to hide.

A bonus of its being an organic system is, of course, that it does not pollute the earth. You may already be tired of hearing green this and eco-conscious that and carbon footprint those, since, after all, there's only so much we can do on our own? but you know, there are a whole lot of small, simple things we can all do to take a bit better care of our home planet. Eco-friendly carpet cleaning happens to be one of those things.

Another great thing about the eco-friendly solution is that there's no residue left behind after the job is completed. Chemicals leave behind fumes, shampoos leave behind crust and hard chunks, but the dry, organic, water and oxygen based system leaves behind absolutely nothing but a nice, clean, soft carpet.

There aren't a whole lot of oxygenated, eco-friendly, organic carpet cleaning companies out there right now. Sooner or later, the trend is likely to really catch on, and every carpet cleaner in the world will be ready to throw away their soaps and shampoos in exchange for a more powerful, safer, more earth-friendly alternative? That day may be just around the corner, or it may be years away, but until then, at least there are a few companies out there trying to make a difference.
