Chem-Dry vs. Steam Cleaning: A True Comparison

Discover the Power of Chem-Dry’s Carbonating Cleaning Process. Traditional steam cleaners rely on heavy amounts of water and harsh detergents that can leave sticky residues and long dry times. Chem-Dry of Northeast Indiana uses an innovative Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process that uses millions of tiny carbonated bubbles to lift dirt and grime to the surface, where it’s whisked away — leaving your carpets cleaner, drier, and healthier.

Not All Carpet Cleaning Services Are Equal

What makes the Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning process different from other methods, like steam cleaning? Almost everything.

Instead of soaking your carpets with gallons of water like a steam cleaner does, our HCE process uses about 80% less water. We do this by sending millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles deep into your carpet fibers to explode the dirt within. Particles of dirt and grime are then lifted to the surface and whisked away by our powerful extraction equipment. Due to the minimal amount of moisture used, carpets cleaned the Chem-Dry way dry in just 1 to 2 hours.
