Carpet Cleaning
"How does Chem-Dry compare to steam cleaning?"
Traditional steam cleaning saturates your carpet with an excessive amount of water that is filled with soaps and detergents. So you’re left with wet carpets for 1-2 days. Also, the sticky residue that is left behind from these surfactants attracts dirt and dust, causing your carpets to become dirtier sooner.
Our cleaning process is very different from the methods above. We employ millions of microscopic bubbles to explode dirt from deep in your carpet fibers, which is why we only need to use a fraction of the water that typical steam cleaners uses. After the carbonation releases and lifts the dirt, our high powered equipment extracts the dirt and moisture from the carpet.
Take a look at a detailed comparison of Chem-Dry vs steam cleaning.
