CHEM-DRY VS. STEAM CLEANING
Learn what makes Chem-Dry carpet cleaning in Long Beach more effective than steam cleaning!What Makes Us Different from Steam Cleaners in Long Beach, CA?
Have you ever smelled musty, moist carpets, stepped on wet carpets, or waited 1-2 days for your carpets to dry after a residential or commercial carpet cleaning in Long Beach, CA? If this sounds like something you have experienced, then you may be questioning steam cleaning methods. Fortunately, the process that we use for carpet cleaning in Long Beach uses 80% less water than steam cleaners. This means your carpets only take a few hours to dry and it eliminates the risk for mold or mildew growth underneath your carpet.
We use Chem-Dry’s unique Hot Carbonated Extraction (HCE) cleaning method for healthier and more effective carpet cleaning in Long Beach, CA. Our process uses millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles that bring dirt and grime buried in the fibers of your carpet to the surface. From there, the contaminants are extracted with our high-tech cleaning equipment.

Why Steam Cleaning is Less Effective
Steam cleaners and other carpet cleaners in Long Beach have a less effective approach to cleaning carpets compared to our HCE cleaning process. Steam cleaning machines work by releasing buckets of hot, soapy water onto your carpet. Ideally, all that water and soap would get extracted by the machine. Unfortunately, this is not the case!
Besides leaving a large amount of water in your carpet, steam cleaning also leaves behind dirt-attracting residue that makes your carpet get dirty faster. This means that you’ll have to call another carpet cleaner in Long Beach, to get the same stains out again!
