South Shore Chem-Dry, The Green Choice for Earth Day

There are two key things that make Chem-Dry a natural supporter of Earth Day: our process and our solutions.

While Earth Day is celebrating its 48th anniversary on April 22, 2018, we at Chem-Dry are not far behind as we celebrate our 41st year as an innovator in the natural carpet and upholstery cleaning industry. During our history, Chem-Dry has led the carpet cleaning industry with environmentally responsible cleaning solutions and processes that deliver outstanding results.

Let’s talk a little more about our process and why Chem-Dry is better for the environment and a smarter choice for your home.

Most carpet cleaners use a traditional steam cleaning process, which drives gallons of soapy water at high pressure into carpets and then attempts to suck up as much of that dirty, soapy water as possible. The soaps and detergents left behind make carpets get dirtier faster after cleaning. The excessive amount of water also means carpets take much longer to dry — often soaking through to the backing. The more water you put into carpet, the longer it takes to dry.

Chem-Dry uses a proprietary Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) cleaning method and a primary cleaning solution made from naturally derived ingredients, called The Natural®.

The Natural® contains no soaps or detergents. Our process relies on the natural cleaning power of carbonation instead of high-pressure water, so we use about one-fifth the amount of water that typical steam cleaning does.

Why does that matter?

It matters because our process is kinder to the planet and allows your carpets to dry much faster — in a couple of hours rather than a couple of days. An independent lab tested the Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction process and found that we effectively remove non-living allergens from carpet and upholstery, and reduce airborne bacteria when a sanitizer is added. All while using ONE-FIFTH the water of steam cleaners.

What we do and how we do it is good for the environment and good for Planet Earth!

So what about the solutions we use?

At the heart of Chem-Dry’s cleaning process is The Natural®, our primary cleaning solution made from naturally derived ingredients. It’s free of harsh chemicals, soaps, detergents and phosphates.

Chem-Dry offers a wide range of over 50 cleaning solutions designed to minimize environmental impact, for everything from removing tough stains in carpets and upholstered furniture to cleaning tile and stone floors to removing pet urine odors. Our products are formulated to be effective while using ingredients that are mindful of environmental impact, aquatic life, and indoor air quality.

At Chem-Dry, we’re committed to environmentally responsible solutions and processes, and we want our customers to know that we are focused on the cleanliness of their homes, the comfort of their families, and the world we live in.

In addition to The Natural®, one of our standout cleaning solutions is our World Famous® Spot Remover, which can tackle the toughest spots and stains you can imagine. It uses carbonation to lift dirt and stains to the surface, allowing you to remove them when other products couldn’t — all while using ingredients that are mindful of the environment.

At Chem-Dry we care about our planet. We care about sustainability and we care about our environment. And we care about helping people maintain clean, fresh homes for themselves and their families.

Happy Earth Day from your friends at Chem-Dry!
