Chem-Dry Versus Steam Cleaning

When on the hunt for a reputable carpet cleaning company, it’s vital to recognize that not all services are alike. There are distinct factors that distinguish a superior carpet cleaning process, one that promotes a healthier environment for your carpets and home, from others that may over-saturate your carpets with excessive water and use harsh chemicals.

These critical factors shed light on why Chem-Dry’s distinctive hot carbonating extraction system provides a more profound, faster drying, and overall healthier carpet cleaning experience when compared to conventional steam cleaning services.

Chem-Dry offers a safer, more convenient cleaning solution

Traditional steam cleaning saturates your carpet with an excessive amount of water filled with soaps and detergents. So you’re left with wet carpets for 1-4 days, which creates a breeding ground for mould, mildew and bacteria. Plus the soapy residue left behind attracts dirt and causes your carpets to get dirty much faster.

Chem-Dry’s process is different. Instead of soaking your carpets with water, our process employs millions of microscopic bubbles to explode dirt from deep in your carpet fibres, so therefore we only need to use a fraction of the water that typical steam cleaning uses, almost 80% less in fact. After the carbonation releases and lifts the dirt, our high-powered equipment extracts the dirt and moisture from the carpet.

So while steam cleaners use excessive amounts of water that often soaks through to the carpet backing and creates a breeding ground for mould and mildrew, Chem-Dry’s low-moisture process doesn’t carry the same risk and offers a safer and more convenient carpet cleaning solution. Plus, your carpets dry in just a few hours, not 1-4 days like with typical steam cleaning, and your carpet stays cleaner longer because there is no soapy residue left behind.
