When you use less water, carpets simply dry faster. Instead of using gallons of water like typical steam cleaning, Chem-Dry uses only a fraction of the water. This low-moisture process, combined with our natural carbonating cleaning solution, penetrates deep into carpets and not only leaves carpets cleaner, but reduces dry times to a couple hours rather than a couple of days. So you and your family can get back to enjoying life in your cleaner, healthier home more quickly.
