It can be easy to put off cleaning your carpets. You may have to wait for hours to let the technician in your home and even longer for your carpets to dry. This is especially a pain if you have children or pets who may trample wet carpet.
Chem-Dry is a carpet cleaning service with fast dry times and a short service window. You should be able to return from work and school to a clean carpet without any scheduling problems. Chem-Dry's drying times are quick, typically taking about two hours after cleaning. Some cleaning services require a full day of drying to clean your carpets properly.
Part of Chem-Dry's cleaning arsenal is the hot carbonating extraction system. This system uses hot carbonated water to lift soils from your carpet rather than soaps and detergents. Traditional cleaning materials require more rinsing than necessary, contributing to longer drying times. Chem-Dry uses certified green products with lower pH levels, making it safer for kids and pets. In addition to its environmentally friendly materials, the carbonated system requires 80 percent less water.
