Cleaning with OurHouse Carpet & Upholstery Spotter

 

review continues below ↓

One of the products that has always seemed to be the worst for asthma symptoms in our home is the carpet cleaning solution; but not this one. OurHouse Carpet & Upholstery Spotter works great for spot cleaning carpet; and it has only a light scent.

 

Much like my eight-month-old daughter's clothes, our carpeting and rugs acquire a lot of stains. Any parent knows what I mean. As hard as the squash stains (winter squash contains beta carotene which can impart an orange-colored stain) are to get out of my daughter's clothing, they are even more difficult to remove from my rugs and carpeting.

I put OurHouse Carpet & Upholstery Spotter to the task of removing squash stains from our rug. I sprayed it on the stain, gave it a few minutes to work and dabbed up the stain. After letting the OurHouse Carpet & Upholstery Spotter dry and then vacuuming it up, I am happy to say no stain remained on the rug.

OurHouse Carpet & Upholstery Spotter is also formulated for use on upholstered furniture.

What Makes OurHouse Cleaning Products Unique?

OurHouse cleaning products are hydrogen-peroxide based or use other environmentally preferred ingredients. OurHouse products are not only better for the environment, but they clean as well as any of the traditional cleaners you may be used to. Perhaps the best news about OurHouse products for asthmatics and parents of asthmatics is that they are less likely to cause asthma symptoms.

Patrick Stewart, president of OurHouse, said "OurHouse products are tested and are not considered orally toxic, nor are they considered to be toxic to the skin." Mr. Stewart pointed out that all chemicals in the right (or wrong) proportions can be toxic, and that it is possible for people to show allergic and asthma symptoms from exposure to OurHouse products if they happen to be sensitive to the chemicals in them. On the other hand, Mr. Stewart also noted that they have no cases on record of anyone suffering allergic reactions to their products.

OurHouse products use the same formulations as EnvirOx (co-creator of OurHouse) concentrated products for commercial applications. All EnvirOx products are either Green Seal certified or Green Seal compliant to GS-37, which is for industrial and institutional concentrate cleaners. You can read more about the stringent Green Seal certification process at www.greenseal.org. OurHouse products are the ready-to-use variety of the same concentrated EnvirOx products, packaged to be friendly to the residential consumer.
