Both. The Green Mitt is purpose-built so you can choose which side is right for your soft-surface project.

The Green Mitt is designed to attract dirt and soil like a magnet. Simply rinse your Green Mitt in hot water, wring out well, and let it air dry – never put your Green Mitt in the dryer. 

Rinse the Green Mitt out well in hot water and let air dry (never put in the dryer). Adding a bit of the Super Concentrate to a bucket to rinse will work as well. If it's extremely soiled you can put it in the washing machine but don't do this too often. 

Not all microfiber is created equal. As a general rule, the finer the microfiber thread, the more absorbent it will be. Most microfibers are roughly 1/100the thickness of a human hair! The Green Mitt fibers are manufactured to an ultra-fine 1/200 thickness of a human hair, then split, creating a filament with wedges and sharp edges that increase their efficiency at trapping fine particles.

For most fabrics, it’s recommended to use a low-moisture, water-based cleaning method like the Green Mitt Kit. We designed it to work without harsh chemicals or detergents with a neutral pH that stabilizes dyes and helps prevent color bleeding. However, because ‘Dry Clean Only’ fabrics can react unpredictably to any moisture, we always recommend performing a spot test in an inconspicuous area first.

Yes! For those who prioritize using safe, non-toxic cleaning products that actually work, the Green Mitt Kit stands alone for soft surface cleaning. 

While it will effectively remove everyday spots, spills, and soils; old chemically bonded stains can be permanent and therefore the Green Mitt Kit may not be 100% effective.

Since the Green Mitt Starter Kit is a low-moisture system, regular drying time when used as directed is approximately 1-2 hours in most climates. 

Use the Green MittStarter Kit first. TheSystem and Green Mitt will dissolve 95%of typical spots and stains and lift them away. In areas you need a little more power, spray with RESCUE Spot& Stain Remover and use the Green Mitt to grab and absorb the spot.

Soft surfaces are any textile based or upholstered items in your home -including carpet, rugs, upholstered furniture or cushions, carseats, mattresses and more. Check out more on our “What It Cleans” page.

You can, however, use the products with any carpet or upholstery cleaning machine you own or rent. It’s the same exact solution we use at our professional cleaning company, Alpine Cleaners.  First vacuum. Then, spray the carpet with RELEASE and let sit for approximately 5 minutes. Mix 1 oz. of REMOVE Green Mitt Cleaning Solution to every 32 oz. of water in the extraction tank of your machine, and clean as usual. There is no need to rinse.  

All of our soft surface cleaning solutions are completely soap-free, odor-free, and non-toxic. This means they won’t leave behind a soapy or sticky residue, keeping your textiles softer and cleaner, longer. It even breaks down old soap and residues left behind from previous cleaners.
