Chem-Dry vs Steam Cleaning

Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning vs. Steam Cleaning

You’ve probably heard of steam cleaning and may have even considered renting a steam cleaning machine for DIY carpet cleaning. But at Chem-Dry, we know that’s not the best choice.

Steam cleaning typically drenches your carpets with buckets of hot, soapy water using very high pressure. This large amount of water can take days to dry, which can create an ideal environment for mold and mildew to grow at the base of your carpet. Even worse, soapy detergents can leave a sticky residue that actually attracts dirt and causes carpets to get dirty again more quickly.

The Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction process is different. First, we use around 80% less water than steam cleaning. This means your carpets will dry in just hours, not days! Our core cleaning solution called The Natural® is free from soapy detergents and doesn’t leave a dirt-attracting residue, which means your carpets will stay cleaner, longer.
