A very comprehensive and detailed post about a topic that needs to be looked at and addressed!
When it comes to maintaining clean and healthy carpets, the method you choose for cleaning can have significant environmental and health implications.

At CarpetSmart, we have made it our mission to revolutionize carpet cleaning in Bangkok and across Thailand by introducing the latest technology and state-of-the-art equipment 12 years ago to deliver superior results without compromising our planet. As carpet cleaning experts in Bangkok, we are dedicated to providing the best carpet cleaning service in Bangkok and across this country, while preserving the environment.
The Dangers of Water-Dumping Carpet Cleaning Systems
Environmental Impact
Water-dumping carpet cleaning systems use large amounts of water mixed with harsh chemicals to clean carpets. While these methods may appear effective on the surface, they have hidden dangers that extend beyond your home or business. One of the most significant concerns is the disposal of the dirty water extracted from your carpets. Have you ever even considered or given any thought to this process? This water, filled with millions of bacterial pathogens, harsh chemicals, dirt, mites, and other microorganisms, often ends up being disposed of through drainage systems. Ultimately, it flows into rivers, klongs, and eventually the sea.
In Thailand, the issue of contaminated water bodies is particularly severe. A simple boat ride along one of the klongs will reveal the extent of pollution, with foul-smelling water that is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Contributing to this problem through the improper disposal of carpet cleaning wastewater is not only irresponsible but dangerous. The contaminants in this water are classified as Category 3, the highest level of harm, capable of causing severe health issues and environmental damage.
Health Risks
The water extracted from carpets during traditional cleaning methods is hazardous. It contains millions of bacterial pathogens and harmful agents that can cause severe health problems. Exposure to these contaminants can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, skin irritations, and other adverse health effects. For environments like hotels, where cleanliness and health are paramount, continuing to use such methods poses a significant risk to guests and staff alike.
CarpetSmart: Leading the Change with Advanced Technology
At CarpetSmart, we understood 12 years ago the urgent need to move away from water-dumping carpet cleaning systems. Our commitment to environmental sustainability and health has driven us to develop and use the most advanced carpet cleaning systems in the world. Here’s how our technology sets us apart as the best carpet cleaning company in Bangkok:
Cutting-Edge Dry Powder Cleaning System
Our dry powder cleaning system is a groundbreaking method that eliminates the need for water and harsh chemicals. This system uses an organic, safe dry powder that absorbs dirt, allergens, and bacteria from deep within the carpet fibers. The powder is then meticulously vacuumed away, taking the contaminants with it. This method ensures that no dirty water is created or disposed of improperly.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
We invest in state-of-the-art equipment designed to provide a deep, thorough clean without the drawbacks of traditional methods. Our machines are engineered to work with our dry powder system, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness. This advanced technology allows us to remove even the most stubborn dirt and stains while preserving the integrity of your carpets.
Specialized Techniques and Processes
Years of perfecting our profession have led us to develop specialized techniques that deliver exceptional results. Our team of carpet cleaning experts in Bangkok is trained in the latest methods, ensuring that we can tackle any carpet cleaning challenge with precision and care. We focus on restoring and maintaining your carpets, rather than causing additional damage through outdated methods.
The Benefits of CarpetSmart’s Eco-Friendly Approach
Healthier Environment
By eliminating the use of water and harsh chemicals, our cleaning process significantly reduces the risk of health issues associated with traditional carpet cleaning. Our dry powder system ensures that no harmful contaminants are introduced into your home or business, providing a safer and healthier environment for everyone.
Preservation of Water Resources
Water is a precious resource, and conserving it is crucial for the sustainability of our planet. Our dry powder cleaning system uses no water, helping to preserve this vital resource. By choosing CarpetSmart, you are making a conscious decision to reduce water consumption and contribute to environmental conservation.
Protection of Carpets
Traditional water-dumping methods can lead to over-wetting, which damages the carpet fibers and backing. Over time, this can cause the carpet to become unstable, leading to further deterioration. Our advanced cleaning system gently removes dirt and contaminants without soaking your carpets, ensuring they remain in excellent condition for longer.
Proper Disposal of Contaminants
Unlike traditional methods that dispose of dirty water into the drainage system, our process involves the proper disposal of the extracted dirt and contaminants. We ensure that these harmful substances are disposed of safely and away from water bodies, reducing the risk of environmental pollution.
The Serious Knock-on Effects of Turning a Blind Eye and Going Cheap!
When you clean a carpet with a water dumping system like Bonnet cleaning, Hot water extraction, Wand cleaning and even steam cleaning, what happens to all the dirty water removed from your carpet? How is it disposed of? If it is thrown down your drainage system it will eventually be entering into the mainstream water system, rivers, klongs and eventually the sea. Nobody needs to tell you how badly these rivers and klongs smell in Thailand, have you ever thought that you may just be a contributory factor?
By introducing this incredibly dirty water into the waterworks creates huge issues that sometimes I think I am the only person in Thailand who recognizes? This dirty water which has been extracted from your carpets, is said by many in the industry to be the most harmful and dangerous of all contaminated water; as it contains millions of bacterial pathogens, harmful agents, harsh chemicals, dirt and mites and other microorganisms. These contaminants can be responsible for causing severe sickness and can lead to bad health problems and adverse effects. This is classed as a Category 3 contaminant, the highest level of harm!
The reason I started my business here some 12 years ago, was to hopefully help hotels move away from using water cleaning systems in their hotels. For the exact reason that it is unhealthy, ineffective, old fashioned and a major contributor to affecting our immediate environment. People can talk all the time, but it's only action that makes the real difference we need. Everyone needs to do their bit, and CarpetSmart is the leader in pioneering revolutionary carpet cleaning systems and processes that are environmentally friendly.
We acted, we don't use any harsh chemicals, don't use any water in our cleaning systems, we don't throw anything away that contributes to the already contaminated water system, we take the dirt from your carpet that has been extracted using our organic and perfectly safe dry powder, which we dispose of properly away from your hotel, away from mainstream rivers or oceans, it never connects with anything that can harm our precious environment. We chose to make these changes and introduce them to Thailand. But we have had to fight and scream at people to listen, and they still don't? They continue to use these damaging systems, that not only help destroy your carpets, but also our environment.
Helping with climate change is not about saying you will change, it's about money! People are still choosing cheap over healthy and safe systems. So, in conclusion; I would say that when people realize that changing and helping our planet isn't something you can achieve cheaply or free, it requires real money and mindset and definitive change to make a significant enough contribution. It's people’s attitudes and foresight that need to change, and I will continue to fight my battle and scream until i'm heard, that change really does need to happen by every one of us, but those who have the power to create change, must wield that power in a positive and decisive way.
Take action over even the small seemingly unimportant things, starting from the ground up... starting with your carpet cleaning and the waste thereof! Personally, I don’t think people will change until it becomes law, or they have no choice, only then will action be taken! It doesn't bother me if people don't like me, I am what I am, I say what I feel if I feel strongly enough about it, people can sometimes confuse passion and entusiasm with opinionated, but my heart is in the right place and I wear it on my sleeve, and my pride of what I am trying so hard to achieve is what drives me.
