Why Chem-Dry

Drier
Our process uses 80% less water than typical steam cleaning so when we clean carpets, they dry within hours, not days.

Cleaner
Our delivery system uses tiny, carbonated bubbles to penetrate deep into your carpet’s fibers, resulting in a thorough cleaning with no dirt-attracting soap residue left behind.

Healthier
We use a green-certified, safe and non-toxic cleaning solution – The Natural® – to give you a healthier home.
Carpets Dry in only 1-2 Hours
By employing a low-moisture technique involving only a fraction of the water utilized by traditional steam cleaning, carpets dry faster. At Chem-Dry of Santa Cruz County, we use a unique carbonating cleaning solution, which aids in penetrating deep into carpets, ensuring thorough cleaning while significantly cutting down the dry times from several days to a few hours. This expedited drying means that you and your family can promptly get back to relishing life in your healthier, cleaner abode in no time
A Deeper Carpet Cleaning
Our goal at Chem-Dry is to help you spend less time worrying about whether your carpets and furniture are clean and safe and more time enjoying your family in a healthy home. Chem-Dry uses a specially designed, green-certified cleaning solution that employs the bubbly properties of carbonation to penetrate deep into your carpet, breaking up dirt and grime and lifting it to the surface similar to the way club soda removes stains from a shirt. We then follow up with state-of-the-art equipment using our unique amplified heat extraction process to pull the dirt and water from your carpet, leaving behind a truly deep-down clean.
Steam cleaning and other carpet cleaners that use soapy water and chemicals often leave behind a sticky residue that can attract dirt, resulting in your carpets getting dirty again faster and requiring more frequent professional cleanings. Since it doesn’t contain any soaps, detergents or harsh chemicals, Chem-Dry’s core cleaner, The Natural, does not attract dirt so your carpets stay cleaner longer.
A Healthier Home
Chem-Dry offers a healthier clean on two levels: first, our products are safe for your entire family and second, by using less water we are helping combat mold and mildew growth in and under your carpet.
Chem-Dry of Santa Cruz County has an extensive catalog of green-certified carpet cleaning products, including our primary cleaning solution, The Natural. The Natural, which is on the FDA’s G.R.A.S. (Generally Recognized As Safe) list, contains zero phosphates or detergents and is completely safe and non-toxic for kids and pets.
Unlike Chem-Dry’s process, typical steam cleaning not only utilizes harsh soaps and chemicals to clean your carpets but uses a heavy amount of water that often soaks through to the carpet backing, creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew. By taking a tip from Mother Nature, Chem-Dry uses a carbonating cleaning process that will leave your carpets and upholstery cleaner and helps promote a healthier home for you and your family. Thanks to our low-moisture, amplified Hot Carbonating Extraction system, we can offer you a deeper, healthier carpet and upholstery cleaning that you can feel confident is safe for your kids and pets.
Since 1977 Chem-Dry has been dedicated to helping families live more healthfully … because a clean home is a happy, healthy home.
Choose Chem-Dry for a healthier carpet and upholstery cleaning and a safer, refreshed home that the whole family can enjoy.
Don’t just take our word for it
★★★★★
The whole process was easy and great. Our technician Francisco did an amazing job. He did an assessment and gave me the price before cleaning. He only took about 1.5 hours for 3 rooms with VERY dirty carpets in each. I had previously rented a rug doctor/did a stain treatment before hiring this company, and eventually, the stains resurfaced. Chem-Dry of Santa Cruz County was able to permanently lift them out of the carpet. I felt the price was fair and well worth it. Really happy with the service and the results!
