Chem-Dry vs. Steam Cleaning
The Carbonated Carpet Cleaner®
Did you know that carpets can act as natural air filters in your home, trapping dust and non-living allergens*? However, over time, these particles can build up and be released back into your home. This can have negative health effects that many homeowners may not be aware of.
If you’re looking for a solution, some people opt to hire a professional carpet steam cleaner. Others try to clean their carpets themselves by buying or renting a steam carpet cleaner, but often end up frustrated and calling in a professional anyway. Cleaning your carpets yourself can be a hassle and come with its own set of problems.
Fortunately, there is a better solution available. Consider Nature Works Chem-Dry, the professional carpet cleaner in Poughkeepsie, NY. We can efficiently and effectively clean your carpets, saving you time and hassle.

Not all carpet cleaning services are equal
When searching for a quality carpet cleaner nearby, 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 Chem-Dry offers a deeper, faster drying, healthier carpet cleaning experience than typical steam cleaning services.
When you steam clean carpet, you saturate it with an excessive amount of water filled with soaps and detergents. This results in carpets that remain wet for 1-2 days, which creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Plus, the soapy detergent left behind by carpet steam cleaners can attract dirt and causes your carpets to get dirty much faster.
A Deeper Cleaning for a Healthier Home®
At Nature Works Chem-Dry our process is different. Instead of soaking your carpets with water like a carpet steam cleaner, our process employs millions of microscopic bubbles to explode dirt from deep in your carpet fibers, so therefore we only need to use a fraction of the water that a typical steam carpet cleaner uses. We also use an exclusive and carpet cleaner, named the Natural because it deep cleans your carpets without harsh chemicals. After the carbonation releases and lifts the dirt, our high powered equipment extracts the dirt and moisture from the carpet. While the drying time relies on several factors, such as humidity, airflow, and the carpet itself, the carpet will typically be dry within just an hour or two and ready for you to enjoy.
So while carpet steam cleaners use excessive amounts of water that often soaks through to the carpet backing and potentially creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew, our low-moisture process doesn’t carry the same risk and offers a smarter and more convenient carpet cleaning solution. Plus, your carpets dry in just a few hours, not 1-2 days like with typical steam carpet cleaning, and your carpet stays cleaner longer because there is no soapy detergents left behind.
With Nature Works Chem-Dry, carpet cleaning doesn’t need to be a hassle…

Brian was extremely courteous and professional from start to finish; he asked detailed questions about the project, gave us all the information we needed ahead of time, and reiterated everything upon arrival at our house. He takes his work seriously and is very thorough—all the pieces he cleaned look noticeably better. We also liked that the product he uses is “green” (free of harsh chemicals). We highly recommend him.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How is Chem-Dry different from traditional steam cleaning?
Chem-Dry uses a low-moisture cleaning process that removes dirt and non-living allergens* from carpet fibers, allowing carpets to dry much faster than traditional steam cleaning. Steam cleaning uses high amounts of water, which can lead to longer drying times and potential mildew growth.

Yes. Chem-Dry targets dirt at the microscopic level using powerful cleaning solutions and counter-rotating brushes, providing a deep clean that lifts dirt, grime, and non-living allergens* from the carpet fibers without over-wetting the carpet.
Which carpet cleaning method is better for homes with pets?
Chem-Dry is ideal for homes with pets because it effectively removes pet odors* and stains while using minimal water. This reduces the risk of lingering moisture that could cause odors or mildew, helping keep your carpets fresh and clean for your family and pets. Plus, our cleaning solutions contain no harsh chemicals, making our services suitable for homes with kids and pets.
