​Our inventor and founder...

Since 1967 the hot water extraction carpet cleaning, commonly referred to as "steam carpet cleaning" has dominated the industry. This has caused dissatisfaction with the public with long days of carpet drying times, re-appearing carpet cleaning spots, and soil pushed to the backing and in some cases the sub floor as well as the chemicals they use causing  an unhealthy environment."

Why GreenCo2?
​​Empowered Natural CO2™ Patented Technology
​A Natural more effective carpet cleaning & air duct cleaning systems

---

​​Angelo Darin has 37 years of experience in the carpet cleaning business, and built GreenCO2 on striving for continuous improvement upon that experience.

He sought to educate himself to find the most effective products for his industry that were also safe for the environment and for the well-being of the customers he served. In addition to this desire from a business perspective, he also has some personal reasons for starting GreenCO2 - a son that passed away because of repository issues - issues he wanted to help solve for others.

 “Green CO2 isn’t just a carpet cleaning company.” Darin shares. “We care about quality cleaning services, yes, but we care more about how to make people better and healthier.” 

GreenCO2 utilizes exclusive, natural CO2 technology to not just clean carpets and air ducts, but to break down pollutants and dirt, remove and destroy them at a molecular level. “Steam cleaning carpets can actually push soil to the [carpet] backing or sometimes the sub floor, not really removing stains. Additionally, a lot of the chemicals used can cause unhealthy environments.” 

Often services from GreenCO2 are requested because customers are having respiratory problems. They often start with air quality testing for mold or other allergens, then provide an analysis of the results with a recommendation of corrective action.

“I get a lot of customers who are real hypersensitive to certain allergens, and they don’t even realize it. We try to do a lot of education about it, and explain how those problems like headaches are related and how they can help to eliminate them.” Darin chuckled lightly, recalling a recent customer interaction. “I remember  we had customers where the wife was really bothered by mold in their home, and her husband thought it was all in her head. We came in, did testing, and the husband was instantly apologetic when he realized it was an actual problem. In some ways, I’ve always said, we mend relationships.”

Relationships based on trust with their customers is a big part of what GreenCO2 focuses on, and one of the reasons they sought BBB Accreditation. Alignment of values made it a natural fit for Darin and his team. 

“My job is more than just doing the work, it’s about service to you, as a customer. Anyone can clean a carpet. It’s more than that. We’ve had long time customers call us for something small, since they always call us and we love that. But, for example, we had a couple call us to spot clean some white upholstered chairs. She asked how much she owed us, and I said nothing. It was a quick job, and they are longtime, loyal customers. If I don’t feel like I did right by [my customers], I can’t go to bed at night.”

Doing right by their customers sometimes mean cutting into GreenCO2’s profit, and, Darin says, if it makes a difference to the customer and they can offer it, it’s worth it. Another example of this was a couple in their 80s that couldn’t afford the full air duct cleaning services they wanted (and needed for their health), but Darin and team went in and decided to give them a freebie, because they could. “You should have seen it. She started crying. We were happy to help and I’m glad it made a difference for them.”

This type of service fuels recommendations from satisfied customers. Recommendations from the internet  and word-of-mouth are the primary drivers of business for GreenCO2. Responsive, trustworthy service matters to GreenCO2, and it seems their customers appreciate that as well:

“I never take it lightly that you allow me in your home. I know you are giving me a lot of trust, I honor that trust and I respect it. I teach that to my employees and expect them to do that with our customers too. It’s how we operate with integrity. That matters to us.”
