I am extremely proud and honoured to announce that Fresh and Clean is the first Certified Green Sustainability Contractor in Canada.
We had to make some fundamental changes in the way we do business to achieve this designation.

All our vacuums are now HEPA  vacuums.
All our mops are microfiber
All our cloths are microfiber
We had to develop and [...]

Fresh and Clean is now offering this product for the use on carpets.
With all the bad press and concerns with the flurochemical products that have been sold in the market place for the past few decades its about time!
Of course we still offer our company warranty on this product. If in the first year (or until [...]

I see more and more people saying that they are cleaning green. What does green mean to you?

Cleaning carpets is a bit different than cleaning most hard surfaces. Carpet cleaners are cleaning textiles. [...]

Well its finally here a green cleaning program made for canadians by Canadians. The Canadian Sanitation Supply Association (CSSA) has started a program that will set the standard for Green Cleaning in facility management. Buildings will be able to receive recognition for their green cleaning and so will building service contractors.

The company that makes Concrobium Mould Control has now come out with a carpet shampoo. Now I hope it truly is a “shampoo”. Shampoos are still used in our industry-especially when dealing with natural fibers on upholstery and area rugs. The idea is to whip the shampoo up and use the foam of the shampoo. [...]

We have our preconditioner–this is something that we spray on the carpet at the beginning of the process and is left to dwell on the carpet for anywhere from 5-15 minutes.
This preconditioner is made of micelle enhanced nano-surfactant. These micelles are made from corn derivatives. The neat thing about these nano-surfactants is they have the [...]
