Chem-Dry vs. Steam Cleaning

Learn how Airport Chem-Dry carpet cleaning is different from the typical steam cleaner.

Not all carpet cleaning services are equal

When searching for a quality carpet cleaner, keep in mind that not all carpet cleaning services are created equal. There are several key factors that separate a high-quality carpet cleaning process that delivers a healthier cleaning for your carpets and home from one that drenches your carpets with gallons of water and harsh cleaners. These factors explain why our unique Hot Carbonating Extraction system at Airport Chem-Dry in Pittsburgh offers a deeper, faster drying, healthier carpet cleaning experience than typical steam cleaning services.
