CHEM-DRY VS. STEAM CLEANING
Learn what makes Chem-Dry carpet cleaning much more effective than steam cleanersGreen Leaf Chem-Dry VS. Olympia Steam Cleaners
The biggest difference comes down to this: Would you rather have your carpets clean and dry in 1-2 hours or 1-2 days?
If you’ve ever stepped on wet, musty carpets, then you know how important it is to have a good carpet cleaning service. Green Leaf Chem-Dry uses a unique carbonating cleaner that dries quickly and effectively removes any dirt or grime from your carpets. Our low-pressure spray machine applies millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles (without tons of water) to clean your entire carpet. The tiny bubbles in our cleaning method loosen and lift dirt and grime from your carpet fibers to the surface, where they are easily extracted. With our carbonated cleaning, we use less water than most steam cleaners. That’s why carpets cleaned by Chem-Dry only take 1-2 hours to dry, not days!
The Big Problem with Steam
The main issue people have with the local steam carpet cleaners is that they often leave behind a lot of water and even some of their soapy detergents. While it’s true that this method of carpet cleaning can make your carpets look clean for a little while, the leftover soap and water cause them to get dirty much faster than if you had used another method. Furthermore, you will have to continuously call them back for the same services, which not only wastes your time but also money. Also, with all of that extra water from their ineffective methods, your carpets will take even longer than usual to dry–allowing mold and mildew to potentially grow.

This was not what I had expected and I will explain. I believe most contractors will nickle and dime you to get whatever they can out of you. I’ve had my carpets cleaned before and they seem to just rush through the process, not really caring and I would have to go back and ask them to work on a particular spot. However, the guy (Jim Kilty) who came out to my house from Green Leaf-Chem Dry was incredible, and cost was not as expensive as I had anticipated. As we walked through the house I pointed out a few spots where the carpet had been stained, and wondered if it could be cleaned, and he gave me an honest evaluation of what to expect. His work was thorough with special attention to the corners and edges of the carpeted areas. What also surprised was, he didn’t rush through the process and made sure the results were satisfactory. I was also astonished with the shorter drying time. Needless to say, when the job was complete tje carpets looked almost new when they completely dried. I will be using Jim Kilty and his company in the future.
