Think about just how much time you and your family members spend on your carpet. Whether it’s babies and toddlers learning to walk and fall, teenagers lounging about because there’s not enough room on the couch, or just time you spend playing with those family members as well as your pets.

Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE)
Cape Fear Chem-Dry’s carpet cleaning process is called Hot Carbonating Extraction or HCE for short. It was developed more than 40 years ago by Chem-Dry founder, Robert Harris. At the time, Harris was on a search for a more effective carpet cleaning process than traditional steam.
He realized that there was a scientific secret to lifting dirt and grime from carpets, carbonation. This discovery ultimately led him to create and perfect the HCE process that Chem-Dry technicians use to this day. We’re proud to continue the legacy at Cape Fear Chem-Dry and bring Chem-Dry’s amazing cleaning solutions to all of Cape Fear.
How HCE Works to Deliver a Powerful yet Gentle Carpet Cleaning
As you’ve probably already pictured by the word carbonation, HCE uses millions of tiny bubbles. These bubbles dislodge compacted soil found deep within your carpet fibers. Steam cleaning, on the other hand, typically packs your carpet with harsh soaps and shampoos to try and replicate this. These soaps and shampoos require a lot of water to be completely rinsed out. That’s why carpets are typically left soaking wet for days. Not only is this inconvenient, but it can also lead to mold growth. See why Robert Harris wanted a better solution?
So what’s in those bubbles used by HCE? Instead of nasty and sticky soaps and shampoos, our HCE process uses a carbonated cleaning solution called The Natural®. The Natural doesn’t contain harsh chemicals, soaps, detergents, and other problematic substances that could have a negative impact on your carpets and your health. Instead, The Natural is formulated with gentle ingredients that you can find in Mother Nature herself. But the best part is really that it doesn’t require loads and loads of water to rinse out.
HCE allows us to use 80% less water than the traditional steam cleaning process. We just need a little hot water to whisk away the dirt, grime, and stains that were lifted out by our millions of tiny bubbles. This low water use means your carpet will be dry in hours, not days like the steam carpet cleaners in Cape Fear.
