Wondering what the difference is: Chem-Dry or steam cleaning? 🤔
You might have bought a steam cleaner or booked a steam clean thinking it’s the cost-effective way to keep carpets fresh… but there’s more to the story.
Chem-Dry works differently. Instead of soaking your carpets with large amounts of water, our process uses millions of tiny carbonation bubbles to lift dirt from deep within the fibres. In fact, we use up to 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning.
Once the dirt is lifted, powerful extraction equipment removes both the moisture and debris — leaving your carpets cleaner without the heavy soak.
Steam cleaning, on the other hand, often uses excessive water that can seep into the carpet backing, increasing the risk of mould and mildew. Chem-Dry’s low-moisture system avoids this, offering a safer, fresher solution.
And the best part? Your carpets dry in just a few hours, not 1–2 days like traditional steam cleaning — and stay cleaner for longer with no soapy residue left behind.
A steam clean might look cheaper upfront, and doing it yourself even more so… but that’s usually because you’re not getting the same deep, professional clean.
