CARPET CLEANING

Q: How does the Southside Chem-Dry process differ from traditional steam cleaning?

Unlike traditional steam cleaning which saturates carpets with water, Southside Chem-Dry uses a low-moisture Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process. Millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles lift dirt to the surface by attacking particles at the microscopic level, providing a deep clean without the need for excessive water or soapy detergents.

Q: How long will it take for my carpets to dry after a professional cleaning?

Because our process uses significantly less water than traditional steam cleaning, your carpets typically dry in just 1–2 hours. In our humid coastal climate, this rapid drying time is a major benefit and helps reduce the risk of mildew growth after cleaning.

Q: Does your cleaning solution contain harsh chemicals?

No. Our primary cleaning solution is effective with no harsh chemicals. We rely on the power of carbonation to lift contaminants, ensuring your carpets stay cleaner for longer because our process does not use soapy detergents that can attract new dirt.

Our Unique Carpet Cleaning Process

Southside Chem-Dry’s signature cleaning solution, The Natural®, is better for your home and your family because it doesn’t use the harsh chemicals and soaps that other Chesapeake or Virginia Beach carpet cleaners nearby use. Instead, the exclusive Chem-Dry process uses millions of tiny, effervescent bubbles that penetrate the carpet fiber, dissolve dirt and stains quickly, and act as tiny propellants that actually lift dirt to the surface for extraction.

This way, we can lift dirt out of your carpets instead of pushing it below your carpet’s surface fibers like other cleaners often do. To prove that we care about the health of your home, we follow Chem-Dry’s cleaning standards, so that you recognize our brand as a healthy option for your family and house!

A Deeper Clean for a Healthier Home

Our deep, healthy carpet cleaning in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and nearby areas is sure to exceed your expectations!

Did you know your carpets help filter the air inside your home? Carpet fibers trap dirt and non-living allergens*, which keeps them from circulating in the air you breathe. But without regular deep cleaning, dirty carpets will become full and unable to trap additional dirt and grime.

That’s where Southside Chem-Dry comes in! With our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process, we can deep clean your carpets. This improves indoor air quality and delivers a healthier home. Our innovative cleaning process uses about 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning. That means faster drying times and less risk of mold or mildew growth due to wet carpets.

Have Stains in Your Carpet?

Do you have stains in your carpets that you’re worried about? Sometimes we run into people that are concerned their carpets are too stained to be cleaned. Yes, not every stain can be completely removed, but we can get almost any stain out!

Carpet Cleaning FAQ: The Southside Chem-Dry Difference

How does the Southside Chem-Dry process differ from traditional steam cleaning?

Unlike traditional steam cleaning which often relies on high pressure and large amounts of water to soak your carpets, Southside Chem-Dry uses a low-moisture Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process. We use millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles to penetrate deep into the carpet fibers and lift dirt and grime to the surface. This allows us to achieve a deep clean by attacking dirt particles at the microscopic level without the need for excessive water or soapy detergents.

How long will it take for my carpets to dry after a professional cleaning?

Because our Hot Carbonating Extraction process uses significantly less water than traditional steam cleaning, your carpets will not stay wet for days. In the humid climate of Virginia Beach and the surrounding Southside area, this rapid drying time is a major benefit. Your carpets will typically be dry and ready for use in just 1–2 hours, which also helps reduce the risk of mildew growth after cleaning.

Does your cleaning solution contain harsh chemicals?

No. Our primary cleaning solution, The Natural®, is designed to be effective with no harsh chemicals. Instead of using aggressive additives, we rely on the power of carbonation to lift contaminants from your carpet. This ensures your home is refreshed and your carpets stay cleaner for longer, as there are no soapy detergents left behind to attract new dirt.
