Parker Steam Cleaning vs Dry Cleaning: Which is Better? | TLC Carpet Care

f you are looking for carpet cleaning in Parker, you will see two options: steam cleaning and dry cleaning.

Here is the truth about both.

What is Steam Cleaning? Steam cleaning is hot water extraction. We spray 220-degree water into your carpet with soap, scrub it, and suck it out with a truck mount. The dirty water leaves your home in our truck. Your carpet is clean to the pad.

This is what TLC Carpet Care uses in Parker. It is the method Shaw, Mohawk, and all major carpet mills recommend.

What is Dry Cleaning? Dry cleaning uses a chemical compound or very little water. A machine scrubs a chemical into your carpet, the chemical grabs some dirt, and they vacuum it up. No water is sucked out. The dirt and chemical stay in your carpet and you vacuum it later.

Some companies in Parker use dry cleaning because it is faster and they don't need a truck mount.Which is Better for Parker Homes? For Parker, with Douglas County clay, pet dander, and winter salt, steam cleaning wins.Deeper clean: Steam reaches the pad. Dry cleaning only cleans the top 1/4 inch. No residue:

Steam rinses soap out. Dry cleaning leaves chemical residue that attracts dirt faster. That is why dry cleaned carpets get dirty again in 2-3 months.Health: Steam kills bacteria and dust mites with heat. Dry chemicals don't.

Dry time: Dry cleaning dries in 1 hour, steam in 4-6 hours with our truck mount. That is the only advantage of dry cleaning.
