| Compare Chem-Dry to Steam Cleaning |
|
|
|
Chem-Dry's patented Carbonating Cleaner is applied using a low
pressure applicator that applies millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles into your carpet, lifting
the dirt and grime to the surface to be swept away forever. This process leaves your
carpet in a drier and cleaner state, more than steam cleaning accomplishes.
Unlike the Chem-Dry process, steam cleaning frequently uses high pressure
that forces water down through the carpet backing straight to the
underlay. This leads to buckets
of water that can be left behind trapping soapy, dirt-attracting residue deeply imbedded
in your carpet, creating the risk of reappearing spots and a potential breeding ground for mould and bacteria. |
