Why Citrus Cleaning
and Why You Should Care
The Dirty Secret Hiding in Your Carpet
Let’s face it: life is messy. Our homes collect a nasty cocktail of skin oils, food spills, pet dander, and general grime—all of it sticky, oily, and buried deep in your carpets and upholstery. Your vacuum can’t touch it, and over time, this oily buildup demands professional attention.
Here’s the problem: To truly dissolve that sticky mess, professional cleaners rely on a heavy-duty pretreatment. When they talk about “carpet cleaning chemicals,” they’re usually referring to this pretreatment. And for decades, the industry standard has been a toxic solvent called butyl.
Butyl is cheap and effective at dissolving oil, which is why most cleaners blindly spray it throughout your home without a second thought (or a warning).
Are you experiencing unexplainable headaches or irritation after a cleaning? It might be a reaction to the butyl-based residue leaching out of your carpet and furniture. For us, that’s unacceptable. We refuse to bring that toxin into your space, which is why we’ve pioneered a safer, superior solution.
The Citrus Scrub® Advantage: Better Cleaning, Naturally
For years, plant-based alternatives to butyl struggled to match its cleaning power—but that has historically changed. We spent two decades searching and testing for a truly effective, non-toxic cleaner, and we found it: a revolutionary, plant-based pretreatment powered by d-limonene.
D-limonene is an essential oil extracted from citrus fruits like oranges. It’s a natural, powerful degreaser that is better than butyl at cutting through sticky, oily grime. It makes that dangerous chemical obsolete.
What makes our process unique?
-
Superior Performance: Our core ingredient, d-limonene, is a safe, natural solvent that easily breaks down even the toughest oils, stains, and dirt.
-
A Soft, Fresh Finish: Traditional butyl-based cleaners are harsh; they chemically “fry” your fibers, leaving carpets stiff and crunchy and stripping away factory stain resistance. Our gentle, citrus-based formula leaves your carpets soft, fluffy, and resistant to resoiling.
-
Complete Safety: From our pretreatment to our spotters and even our tile cleaner, virtually every product we use is safe, natural, and butyl-free. It’s the only way to protect your family, your pets, and the environment we all share.
Stop sacrificing your health for a clean home. Choose the only cleaner in the area that has replaced the industry’s toxic secret with a smarter, safer, and far more effective solution.
