Hot Carbonating Extraction Process Makes Homes Healthier

Our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process was tested by a leading independent air quality laboratory in multiple homes. The lab found that Chem-Dry removes an average of 98.1% of common household allergens from carpets and upholstery. The common allergens tested were dog and cat dander and dust mite allergens.

Additionally, our HCE process, when coupled with a cleanr, was found to remove an average of 89% of the airborne bacteria.

Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.)

An independent laboratory also conducted multiple tests of P.U.R.T., our revolutionary process for treating pet urine odors and stains. In tests against the most common odor sources found in dog and cat urine, the study concluded that P.U.R.T. removes an average of 99.9% of pet urine odors from carpets. When coupled with our HCE process and a cleanr, the study also concluded that P.U.R.T. removes an average of 99.2% of the bacteria from pet urine stains in carpets.

Tile, Stone & Grout Cleaning

Another service that an independent laboratory studied was our Tile, Stone & Grout Cleaning process. Based on several tests on tile surfaces in multiple homes, the study concluded that our Tile, Stone and Grout cleaning process, in conjunction with a cleanr, removes an average of 98.6% of bacteria from these surfaces.

Granite Countertop Renewal

Based on several tests across multiple homes, an independent laboratory found that our Granite Countertop Renewal process, in conjunction with a cleanr, removes an average of 98.4% of bacteria from granite countertops.

Removing Allergens from Your Home

Many people don’t realize that carpets, rugs and upholstery act as giant air filters for your home, trapping allergens and bacteria and keeping them out of the air we breathe. But just like any air filters, they need to be properly and regularly cleaned to remain optimally effective. All of us, and particularly the 1 in 5 American (roughly 60 million) who suffer from allergies or asthma, are greatly impacted by indoor air quality and the amount of allergens and bacteria trapped in our homes that can trigger an attack. Considering that and the fact that we spend an average of 90% of our time indoors, selecting a trusted professional with safe and healthy processes to clean your carpet, upholstery, area rugs, tile & stone, and granite countertops is an important decision and plays a key role in the health of your home and your family.

Removing Bacteria, Improving Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is also a significant home health concern because the average home can harbor as much as 200,000 bacteria for every square inch of carpet. As the bacteria builds up, the bacteria lurking in your carpets gets stirred up and circulates in the air your family is breathing unless you properly clean them. A Chem-Dry carpet cleaning is not only effective at removing the bacteria from the carpets, upholstery and other surfaces we clean, but it also improves the overall air quality in your home
