Why Choose Brooke’s Chem-Dry Lawrence

A good cleaning comes down to the method: how much water goes into the carpet, how long it takes to dry, and what is left in the fibers afterward. This page explains how Brooke’s Chem-Dry Lawrence cleans so you can compare us with other options.

Chem-Dry vs. Steam Cleaning: What’s the Difference?

Less Water, Faster Drying

Steam cleaning, also called hot water extraction, uses hot water to loosen dirt and then extracts it. Brooke’s Chem-Dry uses Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE), which uses about 80% less water than steam cleaning. Steam cleaning can take up to 12 to 24 hours to dry. Carpet cleaned with HCE dries in about 1 to 2 hours. Humidity and airflow in the room also affect drying time. For a full comparison, read steam cleaning in Lawrence, KS vs Chem-Dry.

The Cleaner: The Natural®

Our core cleaner is The Natural®. It doesn’t rely on soapy detergents or harsh chemicals, but rather, uses carbonation to help lift dirt from carpets. It leaves no dirt-attracting residue. Anything left in the fibers after a cleaning can attract new dirt, which is why that matters.

What Is Hot Carbonating Extraction?

Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) is the Chem-Dry cleaning process. A carbonating cleaning solution is applied to the carpet. Carbonation bubbles work into the fibers and help lift dirt, debris, and non-living allergens. Extraction equipment then removes them.

The result is a cleaning that uses about 80% less water than steam cleaning, with carpet that dries in about 1 to 2 hours.
