See and feel the difference with Chem-Dry East Cork.

Compare the Difference

Chem-Dry's Carbonating Cleaner uses a low-pressure spray to cover your carpet with tiny bubbles. These bubbles lift dirt and grime from the carpet fibres to the surface for easy removal. Since it uses minimal moisture, carpets dry in just 1 to 2 hours.
Steam cleaners, on the other hand, soak your carpet with hot, soapy water and then try to suck it back out. This method leaves a sticky residue that attracts dirt and moisture, making the carpet take longer to dry and potentially fostering mold and bacteria.

In short, Chem-Dry offers a healthier and more effective carpet cleaning experience.

    With Chem-Dry East Cork’s advanced cleaning technology, carpets typically dry within 1 to 2 hours.
