Steam Cleaning

• Steam cleaning is one of the most commonly used cleaning methods on carpet and hard-surface floors. While steam cleaners look similar to a vacuum, they use water, soap and steam to get rid of built-up dirt, grime and stains.
  
  

Chemical Dry

• Chemical dry is a low-pressure-spray machine that distributes a carbonated liquid mixture in the form of bubbles to clean out dirt and stains that are present in a carpet. Furthermore, the mixture dries within two hours and is a popular choice of professional cleaning companies.
  
  

Benefits of Steam Cleaning

• Steam cleaning units can often be rented for a day or two from many grocery stores. While prices vary greatly depending on the store, most units are moderately priced.
  
  

Benefits of Chemical Dry

• Chemical dry cleaning is almost always conducted by professional teams. While it is more expensive that steam cleaning, a homeowner does not have to clean the carpet or hard-surface floor themselves, and the process takes only a few hours.
  
  

Considerations

• Steam cleaning is much cheaper than chemical dry cleaning since it can often be performed without the use of a professional cleaning service. That being said, steam cleaners can take a full day to dry while chemical dry normally takes only two hours. All in all, either method is a good choice when you are looking to clean your carpet.
