Tested and Proven
It’s important to note that not all professional carpet and upholstery cleaners are created equal. At Chem-Dry, we wanted to showcase the impact of our cleaning services on indoor air quality and the health of those within the space. To accurately measure our effectiveness in eliminating harmful pollutants, we partnered with a reputable independent air quality laboratory to conduct a study using our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process in multiple homes. The lab found that Chem-Dry removes an average of 98.1% of common allergens from the carpets and upholstery we clean. During our study, we tested for common allergens such as cat and dog dander, as well as dust mite matter. At Chem-Dry of Santa Cruz County, we strive to help you create a happier and cleaner workplace environment for your employees and customers. With our superior commercial cleaning services, you can achieve outstanding results that will exceed your expectations.

Removing Allergens, Improving Indoor Air Quality in the Workplace
Indoor air quality in the workplace can profoundly affect the health, comfort, and productivity of your employees. Office buildings are often a source of health complaints for many workers and it’s no wonder, considering that carpet can harbor allergens. As the allergens build up in the carpets and other soft surfaces in your workplace, they get stirred up and circulate in the air that your employees and customers are breathing unless you properly clean them. A Chem-Dry carpet cleaning is not only effective at removing the allergens from the carpets we clean, but it also improves the air quality in your work environment. The same leading independent air quality laboratory found that our HCE carpet cleaning process removed an average of 2/3 of the allergens from the air.
At Chem-Dry of Santa Cruz County, we want you to breathe easier about the healthfulness of your business for your employees and your customers. A Chem-Dry carpet cleaning – as well as our cleaning of your upholstery and cubicles – can help remove the allergens hiding in your workplace and improve your indoor air quality, helping to keep your people healthy and your productivity at the highest level.

Drier
Because Chem-Dry’s cleaning process relies on the deep-cleaning power of carbonation, we use 80% less water than typical steam cleaning, delivering dry times of 1-2 hours rather than 1-2 days. That means your business can continue running with little or no disruption while creating a healthier workplace for your employees.

Cleaner
Chem-Dry’s unique hot carbonating extraction cleaning method employs the bubbly properties of carbonation to penetrate deep into your carpets and upholstery, breaking up dirt and grime and lifting it to the surface. We then follow-up with state-of-the-art equipment to pull the dirt and water from your carpet, leaving behind a deep-down, long lasting clean for your employees and customers.

Healthier
Chem-Dry uses a specially designed, green-certified cleaning solution that is safe and non-toxic for your employees and customers. Our low moisture process also helps minimize the risk of mold and mildew that excess water can cause. Additionally, in a study conducted by a leading independent air quality lab, our HCE cleaning process was found to remove an average of 98% of common non-living allergens from carpet and upholstery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Chem-Dry compare to steam cleaning?
Traditional steam cleaning often soaks carpets with an excessive amount of water filled with soaps and detergents. Carpets are then wet for 1-2 days, which creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Plus the soapy residue left behind attracts dirt and causes your carpets to get dirty much faster.
On the other hand, Hometown Chem-Dry’s process is very different. We need only a fraction of the water that typical steam cleaners use and instead rely on millions of microscopic bubbles to explode dirt from deep in your carpet fibers. We can then quite easily extract the dirt and moisture from the carpet.

How do you remove pet urine odor from carpets?
Pet odors can linger for months if not treated properly. As urine dries in the carpet and padding, what’s left are millions of concentrated urine crystals that become even more pungent. Many companies just mask this odor. Chem-Dry uses a patented system, P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment), to explode the urine crystals and break down the enzymes which gets rid of the pet urine odor forever.
Will my carpets re-soil quickly after the cleaning is finished?
Not with Chem-Dry of Santa Cruz County. Many carpet cleaners including steam cleaners use soaps and detergents in their process. These soaps leave behind sticky residue that attracts dirt, leading to carpets re-soiling quickly after JUST being cleaned and often requires more frequent professional cleanings. At Hometown Chem-Dry, we use a natural, biodegradable carpet and upholstery cleaning solution that doesn’t contain any soaps, detergents or harsh chemicals, so it won’t leave any sticky or dirt-attracting residue.
How long will it take for my carpet to dry completely?
Drying time depends on humidity levels, airflow to the room(s) cleaned, and the type of carpet. In general, turning on your air conditioning or fans will help accelerate dry times. After a professional cleaning, it typically takes 1-2 hours for the carpet to dry. Sometimes carpets can take longer to dry for various reasons.
Should I vacuum before you arrive?
This is not necessary. Our professionally trained technicians will vacuum your carpets with our commercial, HEPA-filtered vacuum when they arrive as a standard part of our service.
What is considered a room?
Our room sizes are based on 150 sq ft. If any of your rooms are over 150 sq ft, there may be an additional area charge. Hallways and stairs are considered to be separate from a room.
