Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning vs. Steam Carpet Cleaners

A Difference You Can Feel

Chem-Dry of Washington starts by applying its exclusive Carbonating Cleaner at a low pressure. This patented, non-toxic cleaning solution uses millions of tiny carbonation bubbles to release dirt and grime from your carpets. As the bubbles invigorate the carpet fibers, soils and stains are lifted to the surface and vacuumed away. Chem-Dry of Washington uses a minimal amount of moisture, so your carpets are fully dry and ready for you to enjoy in just 1 to 2 hours.

On the other hand, steam cleaners drench your carpets with enormous amounts of sudsy water and harsh cleaners before attempting to suck it all back out. Your carpets are clean, but won’t stay that way for long. The layer of soapy residue left behind attracts stains and causes your carpets to get dirty much more quickly. Worst of all, steam cleaning will likely leave excessive amounts of moisture at the base of your carpets, requiring more time for drying and creating a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

Chem-Dry’s carpet cleaning system is simply a healthier and more complete way to clean your carpets than using a steam cleaner. Overall, Chem-Dry offers a healthier, and a more thorough carpet cleaning experience.
