Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our patented hot carbonating extraction removes 98% of non-living allergens from carpets. The process uses 80% less water than steam cleaning, ensuring carpets dry in 1-2 hours. Ideal for homes with pets and children, this method lifts dirt from deep within fibers without harsh chemicals, extending carpet lifespan while improving indoor air quality.
Pet Urine Removal
Chem-Dry's Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.) oxidizes urine crystals at a molecular level. This process eliminates both stains and odors permanently by breaking down crystallized uric acid. Technicians address subfloor contamination when necessary, with results validated by independent lab testing showing 90%+ odor reduction in treated areas.
Area Rug Cleaning
Professional cleaning for wool, synthetic, and oriental rugs using pH-balanced solutions. Services include free pickup/delivery, deep soil removal with beating tools, and application of protective treatments. The process preserves colors and fibers while removing embedded allergens, with drying times of 1-2 weeks for shop-treated rugs.
Tile & Grout Cleaning
Specialized cleaning for ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles. Our technicians use acid-free solutions and rotary brushes to remove grime from porous surfaces. Post-cleaning sealant application creates a protective barrier against future staining, with results lasting up to 18 months under normal foot traffic conditions.
Commercial Cleaning
Customizable maintenance plans for offices, hotels, and retail spaces. Services include scheduled deep cleaning, spot treatment programs, and emergency spill response. Our low-moisture system allows immediate return to service, minimizing business disruption while maintaining professional appearance standards.
