Landlords, did you know handfuls of surveys tell us that on average 90% + of students care about going Green, working for companies who practice Green in the work place, recycle, or just jumped on the bandwagon of “Going Green” in some way, shape, or form.

Some have taken the Green movement all the way into starting their own business.  A fellow student of Young Entrepreneurs, started a company called DryGreen, an eco-friendly carpet cleaning business out of East Lansing, MI.

Their website is very helpful, you can see any current specials in addition to entering in the total square footage of your rental to get an estimate on their service for your space.  Not only will you have the satisfaction of knowing you participated in the Green movement and you did your part of not polluting our earth with stinky chemicals but you’ll also be keeping some Green in your pockets.  DryGreen claims that their services cost 60% less than Chem Dry & 30% less than Stanley Steamer.

We all know, but sometimes don’t want to know what exactly is in that carpet at our student rental.  Landlords, we hope you do your part of cleaning the carpet between student turn-overs.  Working with DryGreen appears to be a win-win situation:  you are doing the Green thing, your costs can be reduced, and you’ll have happy students which leave great reviews on your rental.
