Can other cleaning methods
actually damage my carpets?
Yes. The sticky residues from shampoo never
really dry. Instead, they cling to every carpet fiber, actually attracting
more dust and soil. Thus, shampooed carpets resoil very quickly.
"Steam and water" extraction (steam cleaning) can cause carpets
to rot or mildew because of excessive drying time. And the extreme
flooding of carpets so common with these methods can utterly destroy the
jute backing on fine carpet. Such flooding can also damage hardwood floors
beneath the carpeting, making them warp.
Does the
Chem-Dry cleaning process use excessive amounts of water like
other cleaning methods?
No. With Chem-Dry, your carpets dry in
minutes and the high concentration of CO2 eliminates the need for massive
amounts of water used in other processes. With Chem-Dry, there is no
threat of shrinkage, mildew, rot or floor damage.
Will my carpets
stay cleaner longer using the Chem-Dry method?
Yes. One of the greatest advantages of the
Chem-Dry method is that it is free of sticky residues. Once soil, grease
and stains are removed the solution evaporates. Since crystal clear CO2 is
the dirt releasing agent, rather than soaps or harsh chemicals, there are
no sticky residues left in your carpets to attract dirt. Laboratory tests
show that carpets cleaned the Chem-Dry way actually stay clean as long as
factory fresh carpets do.
How long will
it take my carpets to dry after having them cleaned by Chem-Dry?
Carpets cleaned by the Chem-Dry process
usually dry completely in 60 minutes. Because the Chem-Dry method takes
minutes to dry compared to the hours with shampoo or steam methods,
furniture can be moved into cleaned areas almost immediately. The entire
process is faster than any other method. It usually takes less than two
hours to clean carpets in an average size house. |
