Compare Chem-Dry with steam cleaning companies. Instead of the traditional ‘soak and suck’ method of steam cleaning (where the machine soaks the carpets and pads with water, then tries to suck back out as much as it can), Chem-Dry uses a process called Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE), which uses the power of carbonating bubbles with hot water to release dirt from the fibers and lift it to the surface where it is whisked away by the Chem-Dry PowerHead unit

Cleaning Results |
|
When done properly, steam cleaning can provide a deep clean. Be cautious of the excessive amounts of water used, which can get left behind - leaving a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
|
|
Chem-Dry's HCE system, provides a deep down clean, extracting dirt from the carpet fibers without overloading the carpet with water. |
|
| |
Residues |
|
Most steam cleaners leave behind dirt-attracting residues. Carpets resoil quickly after cleaning
|
|
Chem-Dry's The Natural ® leaves behind no dirt-attracting residues so carpets stay cleaner, longer. |
|
| |
Wicking |
|
Because steam cleaners leave so much water in the carpeting, as it dries, the water wicks dirt to the surface. Carpets look dirtier faster.
|
|
Chem-Dry uses less water and high-power extraction to virtually eliminate wicking |
|
| |
Dry Times |
|
Carpets may take as long as 2 days to dry. |
|
Carpets cleaned with Chem-Dry's proprietary system dry in 1-2 hours so you can get back to your daily routines.

|
| |
Green |
|
Many carpet cleaning companies use harsh chemicals that may be harmful to Mother Earth. |
|
Only Chem-Dry uses The Natural® cleaning solution for a deep, effective clean that's also green. Many Chem-Dry cleaning products are green certified.
