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.

The Difference Between Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning and Steam Cleaning

Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction

• Resists resoiling
• Low water quantity
• Low pressure application
• Short drying time

Typical Steam Cleaning

• Soapy detergents encourage resoiling
• High water quantity
• High pressure application
• Long drying times

Many Carpet manufacturers require routine carpet cleaning to maintain your carpet warranty and cleaning with Chem-Dry of Michiana will keep that warranty intact.  Carpet manufacturers like Monsanto, Shaw and DuPont all approve the hot water extraction process that are approved by the Carpet & Rug Institute to maintain your carpet warranties.
