Chem-Dry is a new, healthier cleaning technique for carpets. http://www.chemdry.co.uk/services/professional-carpet-cleaning/carpet-cleaning-the-needMany homes have carpeting covering some or all of their flooring. Carpet, unlike wooden, tiled or vinyl floors, cannot be easily washed. Dust and dirt can be rubbed into the top surface and then settle in the mat at the base.It is designed primarily for carpets, but the technique has been developed to apply to upholstery and other fabrics. http://www.chemdry.co.uk/services/professional-carpet-cleaning/carpet-cleaning-systems
The majority of carpet used for homes is manufactured from materials that absorb moisture, dust, and dirt. Where there is moisture and heat, mould can grow. It is a well known fact that the use of carpeting in the home can be directly related to breathing problems, such as asthma, and allergies. http://www.ecomall.com/greenshopping/abscarpet.htm Many people lie on carpet, unaware of the problems the carpet itself can cause to them, especially children.
To keep the comfort of carpeting and keep the home a healthy place to be, Chem-Dry offers a new, non-harmful technology to clean out the dirt, dust and mould that can be found in carpets and fabrics. It is a revolutionary alternative to steam cleaning methods using natural reactions in a process that provides an impressively clean carpet. http://www.chemdry.co.uk/services/professional-carpet-cleaning/carpet-cleaning-the-need
How It Works
The process of Chem-Dry uses a non-harmful cleaning agent combined with a unique cleaning machine to clean carpets, fabric and upholstery and improve the indoor air environment of your home. http://www.chemdry.co.uk/services/professional-carpet-cleaning/green-carpet-cleaning
Carbonation is a process of creating carbon dioxide. Chem-Dry uses this process to reduce the amount of water as well as a new way of removing dirt from the fabric. The reaction uses very little water, but mixed with the right chemicals can create a generous amount of carbon dioxide bubbles which is similar to that in soft drinks. These bubbles get under the dirt, mould and dust and lift it up.
The Chem-Dry patented cleaning machine 'agitates' the carpet which creates even more carbonation to lift out dirt more deeply embedded in the carpet/fabric.
Because there is so little moisture used in this process, the opportunity for mould to appear is highly reduced in comparison to steam cleaning methods or carpet washing. Chem-Dry is also unique because it drys remarkably fast so you can use the space faster. http://www.chemdry.co.uk/services/professional-carpet-cleaning/the-chem-dry-advantage
Combined with routine vaccuming, using Chem-Dry has the potential to decrease indoor air pollution and minimise allergies to things like dust and mould. http://www.chemdry.co.uk/services/professional-carpet-cleaning/carpet-cleaning-the-need
Chem-Dry: How It Works
This is an educational video describing, in simplified terms, how Chem-Dry works chemically and when used by a cleaning professional in your home. There are informative diagrams and demonstrations to support the ideas explained. The concept of this new chemical technology is clear, and how it is advantageous to homeowners for a cleaner, healthier carpet.
