CARPET CLEANING SAVES YOU MONEY... & THE WORLD?

It's obvious that choosing the right company to clean your carpet can save you money...but how do we get away with saying that it can SAVE THE WORLD?



Most of us have had the experience of choosing what type of carpet to have in our home...which means that most of us have shared that shocking moment of discovering just how expensive it can be to not only purchase carpet, but have it installed as well.
When we make this necessary decision on expense most of us agree that we're choosing the carpet we're going to have for as long as we call that house a home.  So, keeping that in mind, regular upkeep on your carpet is essential.  It preserves the 'life' of your carpet, improves your indoor air quality and yes, it helps save the world.
Ok, by now you probably want to know just HOW having your carpet cleaned can save the world.


The answer is simple: Unwanted carpet gets thrown away.  And carpets that get thrown away end up in a landfill.  With more than 300 million Americans (and the number always growing) just imagine how much space/waste we are accumulating from carpet and padding alone!  
So yes, you can call it a stretch if you want--but the fact remains that it is possible to keep your carpet for more than 10 years if it is cleaned regularly and professionally. 
That's why, as a "Thank You" for reading this blog, we'll offer you something that we don't offer anywhere else:  Call STEAMATIC and reference that you read our blog and you will get 3 ROOMS of CARPET CLEANED for only $99!

But what about the obvious?  In some cases people NEED NEW CARPET...what can they do to help save the world in that situation?  Why not RECYCLE?

You can RECYCLE CARPET?
YES!
The Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) is an industry-government initiative that develops market-based solutions for the recycling and reuse of carpet.  CARE started out in 2002, and two years after that, CARE helped divert more than 150 million pounds of post-consumer carpet from landfills through reuse, recycling and 'waste-to-energy' programs.  

Their goal, by 2012, is to divert 40% of carpet from landfills.  To learn more please visit www.carpetrecovery.org
