Our Business Model

A Brand Built on Trust & Reputation

For nearly five decades, Chem-Dry has led the floor, surface, and upholstery cleaning industry through science, innovation, and trust.

Built on a foundation of proprietary products and processes, and world-class franchise support, Chem-Dry gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to own a complete floor and upholstery cleaning business that delivers essential, in-demand services to communities of all sizes.

Chem-Dry franchise owners operate within an established, tech-driven system continually refined to meet today’s market, offering scalable growth, recurring revenue potential, and the full support of one of the most recognized names in the cleaning industry.

Developed Through Chemistry & Built-to-Scale

Chem-Dry is known for its proven hot carbonating extraction process that continues to set the standard for the way carpets, upholstery, and floors of all finishes are cleaned. Using the power of carbonation, the process lifts dirt, oils, and allergens from any surface while using only a fraction of the water required by traditional steam cleaning.

That same spirit of innovation powers the Chem-Dry franchise experience today. New and existing franchisees have access to superior equipment, custom marketing programs, and integrated CRM systems for seamless customer management and performance tracking.

Each location follows standardized, high-quality service protocols, leading to a consistent experience for every Chem-Dry customer in every market.

Full Suite of Cleaning Services With Steady Demand  

Chem-Dry franchise owners serve both residential and commercial clients with an array of professional cleaning services, including:

• Carpet and upholstery cleaning
• Hard floor care (tile, stone, wood, LVT/LVP, VCT, and concrete)
• Area rug cleaning
• Urine or odor removal and more

This comprehensive service mix creates two powerful revenue streams: 

• Recurring residential business, built on customer loyalty and regular maintenance
• Expanding commercial opportunities, supported by high-traffic facilities and long-term contracts

As demand for healthier, more sustainable cleaning solutions grows, our proprietary products and carbonating process keep franchisees ahead of the curve.
