Walk the green carpet with Eco Carpet Care
Carpets. Are they green? Are they healthy? A debate I wasn't aware of rages on over this subject, and now a Brighton-based company that cleans carpets without the use of harmful chemicals wants to make the case for carpets.
First off, a carpeted house will retain a lot more heat than one with bare floorboards, meaning less energy gets wasted in heating it. On the green front, that's a big thumbs up, but many have concerns about carpets harbouring bugs and all sorts of other allergens, which is where the less green part comes in: cleaning.
Eco Carpet Care offer a greener alternative to carpet cleaning services, which are detailed here. The claim their earth-friendly products are '100% plant based, biodegradable and non-toxic and that produce the same results when used with powerful water extraction equipment'. So if you want the insulating benefits of carpeting without the chemical drawbacks, you might want to check these guys out.
