Frequently Asked Questions
Below you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions that our customers ask us. If you still have a question please call us or email us and we will gladly do our best to assist you.
Yes, we offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee which means that if you are not happy with the way we cleaned your carpet, we will re-clean at no additional fee.
Carbonated water is an aggressive cleaning agent. It effectively strips off soiling along with pigment in textiles. With the hot water carbonated cleaning method the carpet may look cleaner but actually the fabric colouring becomes compromised. Steam cleaning is the gold standard in carpet cleaning because it is safe for carpets and helps remove the majority of allergents, bacteria, dirt and stains from your carpet.
It is recommended not to walk on the carpet for the first three to four hours. The first three to four hours are the most crucial for drying. The moisture comes to the surface and then it starts to dissipate into the air. The other part of the 12-24 hour drying process is when the actual under-padding starts to dry. Walking on the carpet during the first three to four hours creates suction and increases the chances of sweat, oils and odour from the feet getting trapped into the carpet. Not walking on the carpet while it’s drying always provides the best results. So whenever possible do not walk on the carpet for 24 hours.
If you must walk on the carpet during the drying period, do so with white socks. If you wear black socks the chances of lint transferring to the carpet are higher. Never walk bare feet, doing so transfers oils and other particles from your feet into the carpet.
If your carpet cleaning was performed in winter, then keep your heating on and open some windows. This will help speed up drying. If the carpet cleaning was performed during summer, decreasing or shutting off the AC and opening your windows will help speed up the drying process.
Yes, our cleaning products are safe for the environment, humans (including infants), and pets. We never use any harmful carpet cleaning solutions, instead we use detergents and conditioners that are free of phosphates, fragrance free, hypoallergenic and are biodegradable, allowing us to provide a True Green Process for a Cleaner Planet.
Our deodorizer is a disinfectant which is important if you have children that crawl around your carpets especially if you have pets.
Our deodorizer is absolutely 100% safe for humans, children, pets and the environment. The disinfectant kills most of the remaining bacteria and increases the safety of your home for your family and pets and gives your carpet a gentle, sweet, lemony scent.
Our carpet protector has a Teflon base which is a liquid plastic. After cleaning your carpet our technician will spray the protector solution on top of your carpet, creating a layer of protection that will make any future stains easier to clean by keeping them on top of the carpet which gives you more time to wipe them off.
Our experienced and friendly technicians will always ensure all your questions are answered before they begin any carpet cleaning work during the pre-inspection. They always take extra time to make sure each client knows the final price and that all questions are answered.
We cannot make your 30 year old carpet look brand new as it most likely has irreversible damage due to wear and tear from human traffic, pets and furniture as well as sun damage.

Chem Dry uses Carbonated water which is an aggressive cleaning agent. It effectively strips off soiling along with pigment in textiles. The carpet may look cleaner but actually the fabric colouring becomes compromised with this type of cleaning system. On the other hand, steam cleaning which is the gold standard in the professional carpet cleaning industry is gentle on carpet fibers, but tough on stains, dirt, grime, and allergens and does not discoulour your carpet.
