Chem-Dry vs. Steam Cleaning
The difference between Hot Carbonation and Hot Water Extraction.
| Chem-Dry (Hot Carbonation) | Steam Cleaning (Hot Water Extraction) |
|---|---|
| ✓ Carbonating, active cleaning solution | ✗ Flat, inactive cleaning solution |
| ✓ Neutral-pH cleaning solution | ✗ High-pH cleaning solution |
| ✓ Resists resoiling | ✗ Encourages resoiling |
| ✓ Low water quantity | ✗ High water quantity |
| ✓ Low-pressure application | ✗ High-pressure application |
| ✓ Short drying time (1–2 hours) | ✗ Long drying times (1–2 days) |
| ✓ Eco-responsible solutions and cleaning method | ✗ Harsh chemicals, excessive water |
The secret is carbonation. Millions of microscopic bubbles in The Natural® explode dirt off carpet fibers so we can whisk it away with a fraction of the water — no soapy residue, no days-long dry times, no stains resurfacing after the cleaning.
