Deciding between dry cleaning and steam cleaning for your carpets can be a bit confusing. Dry cleaning involves using a minimal amount of water along with a special detergent to clean the carpet, which is then vacuumed up. It's quick and carpets dry in no time. On the other hand, steam cleaning, which I personally prefer, utilizes hot water vapor to deeply penetrate carpet fibers to lift dirt and stains. It’s more thorough but takes longer to dry. For homes with pets or kids, steam cleaning might be the superior method because it sanitizes as it cleans. During my investigation in Chichester, I found www.specialistcleaningcompany.co.uk/carpet-cleaning-chichester.htm to be particularly useful. On a related note, a combination of both methods could sometimes be your best bet based on specific needs.
