Baker's Chem Dry, Burlingame

Baker's Chem-Dry's carpet-cleaning solution has been formulated to specifically exclude one thing: harsh chemicals. Instead of chemical solvents, Baker's Chem-Dry's cleaning process relies entirely on the grime-loosening powers of microscopic bubbles, much like cleaning a shirt stain with sloshes of club soda or Dom Pérignon. When combined with hot water, the bubbles help loosen dirt embedded deep within fibers before being sucked away in the vortex of the company's PowerHead unit. Because no soaps or detergents touch the carpet, it leaves no residue, requires no extra rinsing, and dries to a foot-pampering finish within six hours.
