How often should I have my carpets cleaned?
Every household affects their carpets differently, but here are a couple of good rules of thumb.
1-The darker the carpet gets, the less it will want to brighten up. Accumulated soil can become a permanent stain if it allowed to sit on a carpet for long periods of time.
2-For a healthy home environment, your carpet, which acts like a whole house air filter, should be cleaned approximately once every 4-6 months.

Do you do residential and commercial?
Yes, we do!
Is the Chem-Dry system safe for infants and pets?
Yes, we routinely perform cleanings in healthcare centers, nursing homes, daycare centers and schools.
What is carpet protectant and what does it do?
Chem-Dry Protectant™ offers a protective shield for your carpet fibers. When a carpet is new, the manufacturer treats it with a stain resistance product. However, overtime that will wear off leaving your carpet exposed to the evils of soil, stains and dirt. Chem-Dry Protectant will restore the stain resistant quality of your carpet to the level it was when it was new.
Can other cleaning methods actually damage my carpets?
Yes. The sticky residues from shampoo never really dry. Instead, they cling to every carpet fiber, actually attracting more dust and soil. Thus, shampooed carpets can resoil very quickly. Steam cleaning can cause carpets to rot or mildew because of excessive drying time. And the extreme flooding of carpets that's common with steam cleaning methods, can also damage carpet padding and subfloors, making them bacteria prone and disfigured.

Will my carpets stay cleaner, longer, using the Chem-Dry carpet cleaning method?
Absolutely. One of the greatest advantages of the Chem-Dry method is that it is free of sticky residues. Once soil, grease and stains are removed, the solution evaporates. Since crystal clear CO2 is the dirt releasing agent, rather than soap or harsh chemicals, there are NO STICKY RESIDUES left in your carpets to attract dirt. Laboratory tests have shown that carpets cleaned the Chem-Dry way actually stay clean as long as factory fresh carpets do.
