Chem-Dry calls its process Hot Carbonating Extraction and OxyMagic uses a local low-moisture process; both use far less water than steam and dry faster than hot-water extraction. Because the moisture story is similar, the decision comes down to the team cleaning your carpet and the product they use.
OxyMagic gives you a straight answer on both: a local family team and a certified product you can verify. That is where OxyMagic pulls ahead of a franchise appointment.
