Chem-Dry vs. Steam Cleaning

Learn how Chem-Dry Carpet Tech carpet cleaning is different from the typical steam cleaner.

Not all carpet cleaning services are equal

When looking for a top-quality carpet cleaner, it’s important to remember that not all services are the same. Several key factors set apart a superior carpet cleaning process—one that provides a healthier, more thorough clean—from those that saturate your carpets with excessive water and harsh chemicals. These differences are why our Hot Carbonating Extraction system at Chem-Dry delivers a deeper, faster-drying, and healthier cleaning experience compared to traditional steam cleaning methods.
