Ask your carpet cleaner where they dump carpet cleaning wastewater?

Carpet cleaners spend at least an hour in your home cleaning your carpets. After using hot water to steam clean and extracting all the dirt, where do they dump the wastewater?


Carpet Cleaners cannot afford to ignore the law! The dumping of cleaning wastewater onto the street, into the storm drain or onto open ground is environmentally unacceptable and a lot of people care.

We live in a time of increased awareness of how our actions affect the environment. More than ever, we are conscious of "chemicals" in our everyday lives and even the average citizen has become a self-appointed ecology cop. A whole raft of "departments" from Fish & Game to Environment Protection are showing more and more concern over our activities.

Dirty waste from our cleaning operation contains detergents, soils, fibers, and all types of foreign material. Many people incorrectly believe that if they use a detergent that is "biodegradable," it is safe to put back into the environment. This is not the case.

WHAT IS ASBESTOS AND WHY SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT?

Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring minerals. Asbestos fibers are very stable, and are resistant to both heat and chemicals. The addition of asbestos fibers adds strength and durability to many products. To date, more than 3,000 different products have been manufactured with asbestos fibers. Asbestos has never been banned totally from being added to building products and may be found in buildings/homes of any age, including new construction.

To read more about what is asbestos and why should you be concern about it click here to read. Visit Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for more information on Asbestos Abatement.

SteamMaster is mindful of CDPHE's requirement when it comes to demolition of any building materials during a water or fire damage. As buildings of any age may contain asbestos; even newly built ones. SteamMaster is also aware of the trigger levels involved and always gets testing done prior to any removal by a certified asbestos inspector.
