Why Are We Different?

Carpet cleaning companies may use different methods, including steam cleaning, spray-on additives, and hot carbonated extraction. Chem-Dry uses Hot Carbonating Extraction, a process designed to help lift dirt and grime from carpet fibers while using less moisture than many traditional cleaning methods.

Steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction, typically uses hot water and extraction equipment to clean carpet. Depending on the process, equipment, and drying conditions, carpets may require additional drying time after service.

Moisture from Steam Cleaning vs. Chem-Dry’s Process

Some cleaning methods may use detergents, soaps, or other additives as part of the process. Depending on the product and how it is applied, residue can sometimes remain on carpet fibers. Chem-Dry’s process is designed to clean carpet without relying on heavy amounts of water or detergent.

Some other carpet cleaning methods use spray-on additives that are applied to carpet and then vacuumed or extracted. Results can vary based on the product, carpet type, equipment, and cleaning process used.

A Different Way to Clean Carpet

Chem-Dry’s Hot Carbonating Extraction process uses carbonating bubbles to help loosen dirt and grime from carpet fibers and bring soil toward the surface for extraction. Because the process uses less water than many traditional steam cleaning methods, carpets can often dry faster.

Chem-Dry’s cleaning solution, The Natural®, is used as part of the Hot Carbonating Extraction process. It is designed for professional carpet cleaning and has been used by Chem-Dry technicians in homes and businesses for many years.

The Natural® works with carbonation to help loosen soil from carpet fibers and other surfaces. This allows technicians to extract dirt and grime using a process designed to clean thoroughly while using less moisture than many traditional methods.

Some soils, oils, and residues can be difficult to remove with water alone. Professional cleaning products and equipment can help address these materials more effectively than routine vacuuming or spot cleaning.

Professional Carpet Cleaning for Your Home

Chem-Dry’s carbonation-based process is designed to help lift dirt and grime from carpet fibers so they can be extracted. The process uses less moisture than many traditional methods, which can help carpets dry faster depending on the carpet type, airflow, humidity, and cleaning conditions.

Chem-Dry’s process is also designed to avoid leaving behind sticky or soapy residue. This can help carpets feel refreshed after cleaning and support routine carpet care.

Regular carpet cleaning can be part of a home maintenance routine, especially in areas with frequent foot traffic, pets, or everyday spills. A professional cleaning schedule may vary based on your household, carpet type, and manufacturer recommendations.
