What Green Seal Certification Means for Your Family
Green Seal is an independent, non-profit organization that has been setting rigorous, science-based environmental and health standards since 1989. When a product earns Green Seal certification, it means it has been tested by third-party laboratories and verified to meet strict criteria for human health safety, environmental impact, and performance.
OxyMagic is the only carpet cleaning franchise in the United States with Green Seal certification. This isn't a marketing label — it's a commitment verified by independent auditors that our cleaning products contain no carcinogens, no reproductive toxins, no heavy metals, and no ozone-depleting compounds.
Why Most Carpet Cleaners Aren't Truly "Safe"
Many carpet cleaning companies advertise "safe" or "green" products, but without third-party certification, these claims are unverified. Traditional steam cleaning detergents often contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), optical brighteners, synthetic fragrances, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — all of which leave residue on carpet fibers that children and pets come into direct contact with.
Young children crawl on carpets, put their hands in their mouths, and lie face-down during playtime. Pets groom themselves after walking on carpeted surfaces. Any chemical residue left behind by cleaning products becomes a direct exposure risk. OxyMagic's hydrogen peroxide-based solution breaks down into water and oxygen — leaving zero chemical residue behind.
Safe for All Pets — Dogs, Cats, and Small Animals
Cats are particularly sensitive to many cleaning chemicals because they lack certain liver enzymes (glucuronyl transferase) needed to metabolize common compounds like phenols and essential oils. Many "natural" cleaning products that are safe for humans can be toxic to cats.
OxyMagic's Green Seal certified solution has been tested and verified safe for households with all types of pets. There are no phenols, no essential oil fragrances, no ammonia, and no chlorine. After cleaning, there's no residue for pets to ingest through grooming or paw-licking. Your pets can return to freshly cleaned carpets as soon as they're dry — typically within 1-2 hours.
No Fumes, No Off-Gassing, No Waiting
One of the most common complaints about traditional carpet cleaning is the strong chemical smell that lingers for hours or even days. This isn't just unpleasant — those fumes are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) being released into your indoor air.
OxyMagic's cleaning process produces no harsh fumes and no off-gassing. The hydrogen peroxide-based solution has a mild, clean scent that dissipates within minutes. You don't need to open windows, run air purifiers, or keep children and pets out of the house. Your family can stay home during the entire cleaning process with confidence.
