Chem-Dry is already the largest carpet cleaning company in North America, with about twice as much market share as its nearest competitor, and franchisees continued to make gains in 2014. Average revenue for Chem-Dry franchise owners increased 5% in 2013, reaching $263,779, according to a survey of Chem-Dry carpet cleaning franchise owners.

“The growth reflects several things,” says CEO Dan Tarantin. “As the most popular carpet cleaning business in North America, we’re benefitting from the growth of the industry overall, and our franchisees have won more jobs and customers by offering a variety of services.”

Chem-Dry uses one-fifth as much water as steam cleaning, so our process doesn’t soak carpet pads. Soaked carpet pads can lead to mold and mildew growth.

About 47 percent of all residential flooring in the United States is covered by carpet, and every year about 14 billion more square feet of carpet are installed. The need for carpet cleaning is huge.

The carpet cleaning industry is expected to gross $4.4 billion in 2015, up from $3.8 billion in 2011. The growth is driven largely by the improving economy and recovered housing market — as homeowners feel more secure about both their pocketbooks and their homes, they are spending more to maintain the look and health of their homes.

Chem-Dry can also serve homeowners who have little or no carpet. In addition to carpet cleaning, franchisees may offer upholstery cleaning, area rug cleaning, mattress cleaning, tile and stone (and grout!) cleaning, as well as water damage restoration service. Those additional service lines expand the customer base for Chem-Dry franchisees, and also create opportunities for repeat business. After all, once a customer sees what Chem-Dry can do for carpets, she is likely to ask us to clean other parts of the home, too.
