A Cleaner Home.
A Cleaner Conscience.
The same professional hot water extraction you'd expect from Carpet Surgeon — with plant-based, biodegradable chemistry that's safe for your kids, your pets, and the planet. No upcharge. No compromise on results.
Same Powerful Clean.
Greener Chemistry.
Most people assume eco-friendly cleaning means a trade-off — gentler products, weaker results. That's not how we see it. Our green cleaning uses the same professional hot water extraction process as our standard service — the only difference is what's in the solution.
We use a combination of plant-based biodegradable solutions, EPA Safer Choice certified products, and enzyme-based cleaners depending on what your carpet needs. The result is a deep, thorough clean that leaves no harsh chemical residue behind — just clean fibers and cleaner indoor air.

- Safe for kids and pets wet or dry — no waiting required
- Same price as our standard cleaning — no upcharge
Eco Cleaning Costs the Same
We don't believe green cleaning should cost more. Our eco-friendly option is available at the exact same price as our standard packages. You choose what goes into your home — we'll make it work either way.

★★★★★ — Google Review, Portland ORIt's Not Just for Environmentalists
Most people who request eco-friendly cleaning aren't doing it for the planet — they're doing it for the people and animals living on the carpet.
Families with Newborns
Babies spend a lot of time on the floor. Eco cleaning means no residual harsh chemistry in the fibers they're crawling and rolling around on — and safe to be on the carpet wet or dry.
Pet Owners
Dogs and cats lick their paws. They sleep on the carpet. Eco-friendly solutions mean no concern about what they're picking up from freshly cleaned floors — completely safe the moment we're done.
Chemical Sensitivities & Allergies
If you or someone in your home reacts to synthetic fragrances, VOCs, or conventional cleaning chemicals, our eco options eliminate that concern entirely. No harsh residues, no chemical smell.
Anyone Who Wants It
You don't need a reason. If you prefer plant-based solutions in your home, just ask — we'll use them. It's your home, your choice, same price either way.
What Goes Into Your Carpet
We use a combination of these depending on your carpet type, soil level, and cleaning goals.
Plant-Based Biodegradable Solutions
Derived from natural, renewable plant sources rather than petroleum-based chemicals. They break down naturally after use, leaving no persistent chemical residue in your carpet or in the wastewater.
BiodegradableEPA Safer Choice Certified
The EPA Safer Choice label means every ingredient in the product has been evaluated and approved as safer for human health and the environment. Not just marketing — independently verified.
EPA CertifiedEnzyme-Based Cleaners
For organic soils, pet stains, and odors — enzyme cleaners use biological catalysts to break down organic matter at the molecular level. Highly effective, completely natural, and safe for all fiber types including wool.
Natural enzymesThe Eco Cleaning Process
Same professional steps, greener chemistry at every stage.
Pre-Vacuum
Thorough dry vacuum before any moisture is introduced — removes loose soil and debris so the cleaning solution can work on what's actually bonded to the fibers.
Eco Pre-Spray
We apply our plant-based or EPA Safer Choice pre-spray to break down soils before extraction. For pet stains and organic odors, enzyme-based pre-treatment is applied first with adequate dwell time.
Hot Water Extraction
The same professional truckmount extraction — pressurized hot water injected deep into the carpet pile and immediately extracted with the dissolved soils and pre-spray. No residue left behind.
Dry Suction Pass
A final dry suction pass removes as much residual moisture as possible — faster dry times and no chance of residue wicking back to the surface. Never skipped.
Standard vs Eco-Friendly Cleaning
The process is identical. Here's what actually changes.
Conventional Chemistry
- Conventional alkaline pre-sprays
- Petroleum-based surfactants
- Synthetic fragrance additives
- Same hot water extraction process
- Effective — fully extracted with dirty water
Greener Chemistry
- Plant-based biodegradable pre-sprays
- EPA Safer Choice certified solutions
- Enzyme-based cleaners for organics
- Same hot water extraction process
- Safe wet or dry — no waiting required
Honest About What Eco Means
We want to be straightforward with you: eco-friendly cleaning is an excellent choice for households with sensitivities, young children, or pets — and we're proud to offer it at no extra cost. The results are genuinely comparable to our standard cleaning on the vast majority of jobs.
For extremely heavy soiling, deep-set stains, or severe pet contamination, there may be cases where a stronger conventional solution would perform better. If that's the situation with your carpet, we'll tell you honestly before we start — and you always get to make the call. We're not here to push you either direction.
If you want eco, we'll use eco. If you want standard, we'll use standard. Both options are available, both are professionally executed, and both cost the same.
