Compare Chem-Dry to Steam Cleaning

Chem-Dry's patented Carbonating Cleaner is applied using a low pressure applicator that applies millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles into your carpet, lifting the dirt and grime to the surface to be swept away forever. This process leaves your carpet in a drier and cleaner state, more than steam cleaning accomplishes.

Unlike the Chem-Dry process, steam cleaning frequently uses high pressure that forces water down through the carpet backing straight to the underlay. This leads to buckets of water that can be left behind trapping soapy, dirt-attracting residue deeply imbedded in your carpet, creating the risk of reappearing spots and a potential breeding ground for mould and bacteria.

Chem-Dry Natural Carpet Cleaning Process is Safe and Effective

The Environmental Protection Agency recommends having your carpets cleaned every six months. Carpets actually hold otherwise air born allergens like a filter. Don't take our word for it. Run your hand over your carpet in a well lit room and see what is released into the air. Providing that your carpet is kept clean and dry, your carpets will promote a healthier home.

Many people assume that the best way to clean is to "soak" their carpets and "suck" the water back out, the method commonly known as steam cleaning. But this soggy approach may have some serious drawbacks.

The Natural®, an amazing, patented general cleaner, is at the heart of the Chem-Dry cleaning process. The Natural® combines a balance of ingredients copied from Mother Nature to produce carbonating bubbles that clean carpets thoroughly, quickly, and safely. Because it uses a fraction of the water compared to steam cleaning, and contains no soaps, detergents, solvents, enzymes, or other harsh chemicals, Chem-Dry's Natural® can be used around your entire family, including your pets.

Benefits of Chem-Dry's Healthier Cleaning

Dirt, dust, and other allergens are lifted to the surface and swept away instead of being forced deeper into your carpet.
Because Chem-Dry uses a fraction of the water, no pools are left behind that could breed mould and bacteria.
Chem-Dry's The Natural® cleaning solution cleans better and doesn't contain any hazardous chemicals that could harm your family and pets.

Steam cleaning can dump buckets of water on your carpet and underlay. When left behind, this water can create a breeding ground for mould and bacteria in just hours. It can also leave behind chemicals and soapy, dirt-attracting residue. Some steam cleaners use harsh chemical with a high pH, which can cause irritation to some people and perhaps a family pet.
