Green Seal Certification: Only OxyMagic Has It
As of 2026, OxyMagic is the only carpet cleaning franchise in the United States whose primary cleaning product carries Green Seal certification. Green Seal is an independent, nonprofit organization that has been setting environmental and health safety standards since 1989.
What does Green Seal certification mean? Independent laboratory testing verifies that our cleaning product contains no carcinogens, no reproductive toxins, no heavy metals, and no ingredients that damage aquatic ecosystems. It's annual verification, not a one-time marketing claim. You can verify OxyMagic's certification directly on the Green Seal website.
Other carpet cleaners use words like "green," "eco-friendly," or "natural," but these are unregulated marketing terms. Green Seal certification is third-party proof. This matters for your family's health, your pets' safety, and environmental responsibility.
Local Ownership Advantage
OxyMagic has been serving the northern Twin Cities metro for 18 years. The Malark family acquired local ownership in 2024 and are committed to the community long-term. We're not an out-of-state franchise trying to maximize short-term profits — we're your neighbors invested in doing right by our community.
Local ownership means: we answer to you directly (not a corporate call center), we've built relationships with hundreds of families and businesses in Blaine, Ham Lake, Circle Pines, Lino Lakes, Coon Rapids, Andover, we understand Minnesota's unique climate and carpet challenges, and we reinvest profits locally. Our decisions are driven by customer satisfaction and community reputation, not quarterly earnings reports.
Process & Technology Differences
Most national franchises use steam cleaning (hot water extraction) — a method from the 1970s that hasn't fundamentally changed in 50 years. OxyMagic uses proprietary hydrogen peroxide encapsulation, a technology that represents genuine innovation in carpet cleaning chemistry and technique.
Our advantages: 1-2 hour drying instead of 12-24 hours, zero sticky residue so carpets stay clean 3-4 times longer, Green Seal certified safety with zero harsh chemicals, and 90% less water usage. Most franchises still promise 24-hour drying, leave detergent residue, and use chemicals that trigger respiratory concerns.
Pricing Transparency & Value
Many national franchises advertise "$99 for 3 rooms" to get you in the door, then surprise you with countless upsells: pre-treatment fees, stain guards, deodorizing, "spot treatment" charges, and mandatory add-ons that turn $99 into $300+.
OxyMagic pricing is transparent. We provide honest estimates over the phone based on square footage and soil level. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no mandatory upsells. What you quote is what you pay. We stand behind our work — if you're not satisfied within 24 hours, we'll re-treat areas at no charge.
Additionally, because our cleaning lasts 3-4 times longer than competitors, you'll clean less frequently annually. Total annual cost is often lower despite higher per-visit pricing.
