When searching for a carpet cleaner, it’s important to remember that just like carpet cleaning services, not all carpet cleaning processes are equal. There are a few factors to keep in mind when you’re looking for a high quality carpet cleaning process. You definitely want the healthiest possible solution to keep your carpets in good condition, and there are some options out there that will saturate your carpet and leave detergents and harsh chemicals lingering, which will wear your carpet out faster and leave the condition with a lot to be desired.
There are a few really good reasons why you should use Chem-Dry over other steam cleaning services, but it’s mainly because Chem-Dry has a hot carbonating extraction system that is completely unique. It gives your carpet a deeper clean and it’s so efficient it actually dries faster than other solutions, which is much healthier for your carpet.
When you call a carpet cleaner, you’re looking for a really good job to be done on your carpet – anyone can spray on some carpet cleaner and half a bucket of water, but will that really make any difference to the state of your floor?
Until recently, steam cleaning was a process of simply drenching a carpet with a huge amount of soapy water, and leaving the floor wet for days. Obviously all this does is invite mould and bacteria – ever notice how carpet that has been wet for a while has a weird mildew-like smell? That’s because the fibres in the carpet haven’t been able to dry properly and sometimes they even discolour.
Leftover detergents also attract more dirt than usual, so your “clean” carpet won’t stay that way for long.
How does chem-dry differ?
Chem-Dry takes a different approach. Instead of just saturating the carpet and hoping for the best, they’ve developed a system that takes advantage of carbonation. Rather than trying to force soap through the particles and passively clean the fibres, the carbonation sends millions of tiny bubbles into the fibres that attack dirt particles and actively give a carpet a deep clean. It doesn’t take as much water to get this process done as with traditional carpet cleaning methods, so not only is the carpet cleaner but it’s also not as wet, meaning it will dry much more quickly – and it will smell far better.
After the bubbles explode the dirt into particles, the dirt and moisture are extracted from the carpet using high powered equipment – using 80% less water than other options AND extracting far more of it at the end. Leaving your carpet to try in just a few hours rather than days, with no soapy residue and no chance of mildew is why chem-dry is the better option.
Having your carpet dry in just a few short hours means you can get back to spending time in the carpeted areas of your property, and be happy in the know that you have a healthy, clean and fresh feeling home for your family. Wouldn’t you rather have your carpets cleaned properly, and dried quickly? If so, know that chem-dry will provide you with just that as well as being a cleaner, healthier and more convenient option when compared with traditional steam cleaning.
