Compare the Difference

Chem-Dry’s proprietary Carbonating Cleaner is applied using a low pressure spray machine, covering your carpet with millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles. The carbonation makes dirt and grime release from the fibers of your carpet and raise to the surface where it is easily extracted and swept away. Due to the minimal amount of moisture used, carpets cleaned the Chem-Dry way are dry in only 1 to 2 hours.

This process differs drastically from that of steam cleaners, which simply douse your carpet in buckets of hot, soapy water, then attempt to suck it all back out. While this process does temporarily clean your carpets, it also leaves behind a layer of sticky residue which collects dirt quicker, in addition to leaving moisture at the base of your carpet. This excess of moisture causes the carpets to take longer to dry and allows for mold and bacteria to grow.

Overall, Chem-Dry offers a healthier, more thorough carpet cleaning experience.

Jason did a fantastic job! He explained everything and why it works. We had every piece of carpet cleaned and sanitized, and the fresh citrus smell was very pleasant. I appreciate the natural products as we are hoping the carpet cleaning helps lessen our dog’s allergies. Thanks again Jason, everything looks great - brand new even!

Jason came out last week to clean our apartment carpet and we are very happy with the results! Between our previous 14 year old husky and our puppy pomsky, our carpet definitely needed more than a regular cleaning. The chem dry process uses black light to make sure everything is actually cleaned. He was even able to get out entryway and traffic stains that previous carpet cleaning companies weren’t able to. Very fast and friendly service from Jason as well. We will definitely use the chem dry service again. Thank you!

Daniel came today to clean my 9x12 wool area rug. My rug wasn’t super dirty but it looks fresher and cleaner now. Daniel was very professional, answered my questions and/or explained the procedure. Great job, great service.
