CHEM-DRY VS. STEAM CLEANING
What makes Chem-Dry carpet cleaning more effective than traditional steam cleaners?The Chem-Dry Difference
If you’ve ever smelled or stepped on musty, wet carpets, then the answer is obvious. You need Chem-Dry of Wake County and our unique carpet cleaning system. We use a patented carbonating cleaner that is applied using a low pressure spray machine, covering your carpet with millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles (instead of an excessive amount water). These tiny bubbles release dirt and grime from the fibers of your carpet and raise them to the surface where they’re easily extracted and cleaned away. With our carbonated cleaning method, we’re able to use far less water than most steam cleaners. That’s why carpets cleaned by Chem-Dry are dry in 1-2 hours, compared to 1-2 days.
Steam cleaners take a different approach to cleaning carpets. They work by releasing buckets full of hot, soapy water in to your carpet. In a perfect world, all that water and soap would get sucked back up by the machine. However, steam cleaners leave behind an excess of water and sticky residue (that end up only attracting more dirt). With all that extra water, you’ll be waiting a couple of days for the carpets to dry.
While steam cleaning will make your carpets look clean for a short time, the sticky soap residue that gets left behind will also cause them to get dirty quicker.
