Dr Green Carpet Care: Metro Atlanta's Answer to Eco-Friendly Carpet Cleaning

There are about 207 things that the average person tends to take for granted on a daily basis. Carpet care is usually somewhere near #203 on that list. Yeah, we all know that our trusty cleaned on a consistent basis. That's why we call the cheapest guy we can find with a big truck, a water tank, and a vacuum—to come and tackle our stinky carpets.

Enter the stage, Dr Green Carpet Care—an Atlanta-based Eco-friendly carpet care company owned by Daryl Brandon. I've always wanted to know about some of the nuts and bolts of the "Eco-friendly" lifestyle. And furthermore, are people really doing themselves a disservice by failing to abide by "green" carpet cleaning? Or it all just a bunch of "hooey"? Fortunately, Daryl was able to indulge my curiosity with a brief interview...

AG: How did you determine that there needed to be an Eco-friendly carpet cleaning business in the metro Atlanta area?

DB: We only have one Earth, and I believe that it's important to conserve our resources as much as possible. Unfortunately in the Atlanta area, we have been slow to react to the world's growing environmental concerns. In other parts of the country, it's not uncommon to have Eco-friendly services; so why not the Atlanta area?

AG: Was it difficult to start up a company like this?

DB: The difficulty lies in changing people's perspective of a "green" service in general. Most consumers automatically think that a "green" service is more experience and not as good as a traditional service offering. My job is to prove them wrong with Dr Green.

(Ah yes, I smell a television commercial in the air...)

AG: Why do you think more African-American people are not as concerned with environmentally friendly services such as yours?

DB: That's a tough question, Ayanna; and I wish I knew the answer... But as a minority-owned business, we are focused on environmental awareness in all communities.

AG: In your opinion, does it cost more to be environmentally friendly?
