A Process Rooted in Innovation and Continuous Development

Our approach is built on decades of innovation in cleaning systems, product development, and operational efficiency. At the core of the Chem-Dry brand is a commitment to research and technology that supports both customer satisfaction and business consistency.

Our proprietary cleaning formulas and specialized equipment form a framework that supports reliable service delivery across a wide range of surfaces. These systems are designed to support franchise operations while meeting the evolving needs of residential and commercial customers.

Hot Carbonating Extraction: A Better Way to Clean

Our signature Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process is engineered to provide an effective cleaning method that uses a fraction of the water used in traditional steam cleaning.

HCE uses a combination of heat and millions of microscopic carbonating bubbles to help release dirt, dust, and allergens from carpet fibers. This low-moisture approach supports faster dry times and allows for quicker job turnaround, helping franchise owners serve more customers on a consistent schedule.

Key features of the HCE process include:

• Low-water usage compared to conventional methods
• Deep cleaning powered by carbonation
• A system designed for residential and commercial carpet care

The Natural®: A Cleaning Solution Exclusive to Chem-Dry

At the center of Chem-Dry’s cleaning process is The Natural®, an exclusive formula made with ingredients inspired by nature.

The Natural® contains no soaps or harsh detergents and is designed to leave no sticky residue behind. It works across a variety of surfaces including carpets, rugs, and upholstery, supporting a clean that aligns with the preferences of today’s homeowners and businesses.

Notable attributes of The Natural®:

• Designed for effective, residue-free cleaning
