This communication isn’t

cats, the communication
comes through tail twitching,

Many cat parents say they get

For example, eight out of

ThoroClean: Choose a Greener Carpet Cleaner
By Robin Martinez©
“Green’s the color of spring,
and green can be cool and
friendly-like, and green can be
big like a mountain or important
like a river or tall like a tree.”
— Kermit the Frog
Kermit was correct — green
can be big and important. In
fact, green IS big and important.
With limited natural resources
and an increasing population
base, regard for the local envi-
ronment is not just a fad, it’s a
necessity. At least, that’s true for
Albuquerque ThoroClean.
While lots of carpet cleaners
advertise “green cleaning,”
ThoroClean is prepared to stand
behind their green cleaning
methods. According to owner
Thomas Conway, ThoroClean
uses non-residue emulsifiers
instead of detergents — a differ-
ence setting them apart from Up-front pricing and an unconditional cleaning guarantee. That’s the way it works with ThoroClean.
