Chem-Dry vs Steam Cleaning
Carpets serve as natural air filters in your home, trapping dust, allergens, and more from the air and keeping them from your lungs. Over time, though, those particles can accumulate, and eventually, they can be released back into your home in greater concentrations.
Many homeowners may not be aware of the issue and suffer the negative health effects without realizing there are simple solutions available.
Some choose to hire a professional carpet steam cleaner to come to their home and clean the carpets for them. Others will either buy or rent their own steam carpet cleaner and struggle with the machine before finally throwing up their hands and calling a professional anyway.
It’s certainly possible to steam clean carpet yourself, but it carries the same problems as hiring a professional carpet steam cleaner with the added hassle of wrestling with an unwieldy piece of equipment.
There is a better professional solution available.
Chem-Dry vs Steam Cleaning
When searching for a quality carpet cleaner, keep in mind that not all carpet cleaning services are created equal.
There are several key factors that separate a high-quality carpet cleaning process that delivers a healthier cleaning for your carpets and home from one that drenches your carpets with gallons of water and harsh cleaners.
These factors explain why our unique Hot Carbonating Extraction system at Chem-Dry offers a deeper, faster drying, healthier carpet cleaning experience than typical steam cleaning services.
When you steam clean carpet, you saturate it with an excessive amount of water filled with soaps and detergents. This results in carpets that remain wet for 1-2 days, which creates a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria.
Plus, the soapy residue left behind by carpet steam cleaners attracts dirt and causes your carpets to get dirty much faster.
Not all carpet cleaning services are equal
At Brooke’s Chem-Dry our process is different.
Instead of soaking your carpets with water like a carpet steam cleaner, our process employs millions of microscopic bubbles to explode dirt from deep in your carpet fibers, so therefore we only need to use a fraction of the water that a typical steam carpet cleaner uses—almost 80% less in fact.
We also use a natural carpet cleaner instead of a cleaner with heavy soaps and detergents. After the carbonation releases and lifts the dirt, our high-powered equipment extracts the dirt and moisture from the carpet.
While the drying time relies on several factors, such as humidity, airflow, and the carpet itself, the carpet will typically be dry within just an hour or two and ready for you to enjoy.
So while carpet steam cleaners use excessive amounts of water that often soaks through to the carpet backing and creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew, our low-moisture process doesn’t carry the same risk and offers a safer and more convenient carpet cleaning solution.
Plus, your carpets dry in just a few hours, not 1-2 days like with typical steam carpet cleaning, and your carpet stays cleaner longer because there is no soapy residue left behind.
With Brooke’s Chem-Dry, carpet cleaning doesn’t need to be a hassle…

On time and professional. Tech did not rush the job and took his time…I was very pleased with the results. I have used Stanley Steemer in the past and there is no comparison!
Working with Brooke’s ChemDry was a great experience that included exceptional customer service as well as the highest quality work. They are most deserving of an unqualified recommendation.
Brooke’s Chem Dry did a wonderful job cleaning my basement rug. After the year my rug had with visitor dogs who stayed with us 2 1/2 months and then my 2 new puppies, I was really wanting a thorough clean.
My rug looks like new again. I like the Chem Dry method over the traditional steamer cleaning system because there is far less water (which I worry about in a basement) and it is ready for traffic quickly.
Steve was polite, courteous and professional. The price was reasonable and I will not hesitate to recommend them. I will call them to come for my next cleaning.
