A Better Way to Clean. A Cleaner Way to Live.

Your carpets are a major source for capturing dirt, dust, smells and bacteria in your home. Buyers want a clean, welcoming home. Nothing says ‘Welcome Home’ like a freshly cleaned and dry carpet.

• Get your carpets cleaned prior to your Open House. A professional carpet cleaning will bring new life to your home. Old carpets look nearly new – and your Chem-Dry professional can help with removing difficult spots or stains. Depending on the time between open houses, you may require multiple visits. Chem-Dry will leave the entire house smelling clean and fresh. 
• Because Chem-Dry uses a carbonating solution, The Natural, with powerful extraction to get your carpets deep clean without the water required by steam cleaners, you’ll be able to get more done in the deadlines that lead up to an open house. Chem-Dry dries in just 1-2 hours; so you can get your carpets cleaned in the morning and host your open house that same afternoon.  

• Be sure to deep clean traffic lanes (hallways) and high traffic areas (in front of sofas and chairs) with a professional application of pre-spray.
• Prior to the cleaning, the special formula of pre-spray works to break down the difficult dirt in traffic areas. This allows for a much cleaner carpet with a better-looking result. As guests walk through your home, considering the readiness to move in, a clean, comfortable carpet is essential.
• Freshly cleaned upholstery is a great way to stage a room. Upholstery takes a beating in modern households. Potential buyers will notice the clean look your upholstery presents.

• Area rugs can quickly look dirty and worn. Let your Chem-Dry professional clean them to add life back into the rugs. Our area rug specialists will recommend the right solution for your rugs based on their construction materials. Vibrant, appealing area rugs can really set the tone for an entire room.
• And, since you’re likely taking the rugs with you, it’s nice to know you won’t be carrying around all that trapped dirt and dust from one location to the next.

• As your potential buyers walk up and down carpeted stairs, they are paying attention to the floor beneath. Let a professional cleaning minimize wear patterns and remove the dirt that gets captured on stairways.
• Document your cleanings.
• Keep a log tracking your home maintenance activities, including carpet cleaning. Show your list to potential buyers to reinforce your care for your residence. Your continued care for your home helps a new owner transition into the space.

First Things First

            Before moving all of your furniture into the home, call for a professional cleaning. The process is simple and painless, leaving your home looking and smelling fresh. Because Chem-Dry dries in only 1-2 hours, you could even move in the same day as your cleaning.

            Over time and with routine use, the stain fighters that are built into new carpets can wear off. You may wish to have your Chem-Dry professional apply ‘Protectant,’ a product that coats the carpet fibers to renew the floor’s stain fighting abilities.

            Sanitize your new home with Chem-Dry’s ‘Healthy Home’ package, which includes carpet Protectant and Sanitizer. Your Chem-Dry technician may recommend an application of Dust-Mite Anti-Allergen, which renders the allergens harmless, to help ensure a smooth transition into any new space.

Routine Cleaning

            Establish habits with your home for routine professional cleaning. Carpet manufacturers require annual professional cleanings in order to maintain their warranties. And, Chem-Dry has received the Gold Seal of Approval from the Carpet & Rug Institute. A routine cleaning adds life and value to your flooring. Document regular cleanings so when it becomes time for you to transition into your next space, you can show your commitment to keeping a clean and healthy home.

Why Chem-Dry?

Chem-Dry professional carpet cleaning represents the industry’s finest in equipment and solutions. With the approval of the Carpet & Rug Institute, Chem-Dry’s proprietary hot carbonated extraction system uses less water than steam cleaning, leaving your carpets sparkling clean in hours, not days. And, less water with more suction means a deeper clean without wicking (wicking is when the water left from steam cleaning wicks to the surface, pulling dirt up along with it).

Only Chem-Dry uses The Natural, a proprietary carpet cleaning solution that is non-toxic and safe for kids and pets. This phenomenal carpet cleaning mixture lifts dirt to the surface where it is whisked away with the vortex power of the PowerHead, a high-performance unit that applies the cleaning solution and then sucks away the dirt and water.  

Trust Chem-Dry's powerful extraction process for carpets that are deep clean without the excess water of many steam cleaners.

• Every 4 seconds, a carpet is cleaned by Chem-Dry
• Chem-Dry cleans more than 1 billion square feet of carpet every year
• Chem-Dry technicians are in more than 10,000 households daily nationwide

A Professional Cleaning Solution

Chem-Dry professionals are trained to deliver the best service in the carpet cleaning industry. Using proprietary equipment and cleaning solutions, your Chem-Dry professionals represent the finest in quality standards to ensure maximum cleaning performance.

Carpet manufacturers require routine professional carpet cleaning to maintain warranty compliance.

Chem-Dry recognizes local service providers that represent the best in the network. These locations have received the coveted title of Circle of Excellence. Look for the Circle of Excellence seal and request Chem-Dry's proprietary Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning with the PowerBase or CTS systems, both of which have received the Carpet & Rug Institute Gold Seal of Approval.

How it works:

Chem-Dry's patented Carbonating Cleaner is applied using a low pressure applicator that applies millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles into your carpet, then with the power of carbonation lifting the dirt and grime to the surface to be extracted and swept away forever. This process leaves your carpet in a drier and cleaner state, more than steam cleaning accomplishes.

Unlike the Chem-Dry process, steam cleaning frequently uses high pressure that forces water down through the carpet backing straight to the pad. This leads to buckets of water that can be left behind trapping soapy, dirt-attracting residue deeply imbedded in your carpet, creating the risk of reappearing spots and a potential breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
