Frequently Asked Questions
How does Chem-Dry of Jacksonville’s process differ from typical steam cleaning?
Unlike steam cleaning that soaks carpets with large amounts of water, Chem-Dry of Jacksonville uses Hot Carbonating Extraction. This method relies on carbonation to lift dirt and grime from deep in the fibers, using far less water and allowing carpets to dry in hours instead of days.
Why is less water important for carpet cleaning in Jacksonville, FL?
Jacksonville’s humidity can slow down carpet drying. With steam cleaning, excess moisture can linger, increasing the risk of mildew. Chem-Dry’s low-water approach means your carpets dry quickly—helping maintain a cleaner, healthier home environment.

This water-based cleaner is based on ingredients copied from Mother Nature and is designed to lift dirt and grime from carpet fibers to the surface.
