The Carbonating Secret RevealedThe secret to clean is the millions of microscopic, carbonating cleaning bubbles in our cleaner we call the natural®. The carbonating solutions penetrate deep into the base of the carpet, literally exploding dirt and grime off of the fiber's surface. Then, we use hot water extraction to lift the dirty particles to the surface where they are whisked away. This concept is almost identical to that of using club soda to remove a stain from a shirt. The awesome cleaning power of carbonating solutions creates a powerful reaction that deep cleans carpets and upholstery in a safe and gentle way
Carpets That Stay Cleaner LongerDue to the natural power of carbonation, chem-dry does not have to use excessive amounts of moisture to clean your carpet or upholstered items. Because the bubbles do the work for us, chem-dry does not need to use soapy cleaning chemicals other cleaners or do-it-yourself machines rely on so much. Soapy residues attract dirt like a magnet, causing your carpet to get dirty again faster than before. Primary carpet cleaner contains no soaps, detergents or surfactants. You save money when your carpet stays cleaner longer. Less cleanings means better bang for you buck and one less thing to worry about
Reappearing Carpet Stains? No Problem with Chem-DryCarpet stains reappear in the same place after cleaning for two reasons. First, they were never thoroughly removed to begin with. Often the unwanted material is forced down below the surface of the carpet by a high pressure steam cleaning unit, only to resurface as the carpet dries. Secondly, the cleaning solutions used by many steam cleaners create a sticky residue that attracts more dirt and grime to the location. Through the use of carbonated carpet cleaner, chem-dry thoroughly removes stains quickly and efficiently. We apply our solutions so sparingly, and without high pressure, resurfacing of stains is not a problem. However, if a spot does reappear, then so will we until the problem is solved

Pet Odor Removal
Facts You Need to Know About Pet Urine in Your CarpetingUrine deposited on carpet does not stay there, it penetrates the fibers and contaminates both the backing of the carpet and the flooring material below the carpet. Often, without your knowing, pets will urinate continually in the same general location. Urine odors can permeate from the floor, be it cement or wood, from the tack strip, and even from the framework of the house behind the walls. As the urine dries, the liquid evaporates but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. Simple cleaning will not remove this odor. Until recently, there was not a product available that was effective at removing urine odors
Chem-Dry VS. Steam Cleaning
Compare the DifferencePatented carbonating cleaner is applied using a low pressure spray machine, covering your carpet with millions of microscopic carbonated bubbles. The carbonation makes dirt and grime release from the fibers of your carpet and raise to the surface where it is easily extracted and swept away. Due to the minimal amount of moisture used, carpets cleaned the chem-dry way are dry in only 1 to 2 hours. This process differs drastically from that of steam cleaners, which simply douse your carpet in buckets of hot, soapy water, then attempt to suck it all back out. While this process does temporarily clean your carpets, it also leaves behind a layer of sticky residue which collects dirt quicker, in addition to leaving moisture at the base of your carpet. This excess of moisture causes the carpets to take longer to dry and allows for mold and bacteria to grow. Overall, chem-dry offers a healthier, more thorough carpet cleaning experience

Carpet Stain Protection
Why Chem-Dry ProtectantOver time and with regular wear, factory applied stain resistants will experience a reduction in effectiveness. Chem-dry protectants refresh the performance of stain resistant carpets, fortifying its ability to resist soiling and staining.
Power Guard ProtectantThe next generation of outstanding chem-dry protectant is here. Not only is chem-dry’s powerguard protectant loaded with acid-dye resistors to provide excellent stain resistance, but its unique polymer base also makes it an excellent protector for solution-dyed carpets like polyester and olefin. Laboratory tests confirm that powerguard mixed with the natural®, out performs all other protectants.
Repel ProtectantChem-dry repel protectant repels most liquids, allowing spills to be removed before staining can occur. Repel protectant can be applied to all types of carpets as it forms a molecular shield around each carpet fiber. This shield increases the surface tension of the carpet fibers, causing them to repel liquid spills, dust and dirt. This helps prevent dirt and stains from being ground in or absorbed by the carpet fiber.
Wool ProtectantChem-dry wool protectant is a fluorocarbon, water-based product specifically developed to enhance soil and stain repellency for wool carpets and rugs. Wool protectant is used to form an invisible shield around each carpet fiber to resist soil and stains. The repellency provided will enable most liquid spills to be removed before staining can occur, keeping carpets cleaner, longer. Making your home a cleaner, healthier place for you and your family.
Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning VS. Steam Carpet Cleaners
A Difference You Can FeelFive star chem-dry starts by applying its exclusive carbonating cleaner at a low pressure. This patented, non-toxic cleaning solution uses millions of tiny carbonation bubbles to releases dirt and grime from your carpets. As the bubbles invigorate carpet fibers, soil and stains are lifted to the surface and vacuumed away. Five star chem-dry uses a minimal amount of moisture, so your carpets are fully dry and ready to enjoy in just 1 to 2 hours. On the other hand, steam cleaners drench your carpets with truckloads of sudsy water and harsh cleaners before attempting to suck it all back out. Your carpets are clean, but not for long. The layer of soapy residue left behind attracts stains and causes your carpets to get dirty much more quickly. Worst of all, steam cleaning can leave excessive amounts of moisture at the base of your carpets, requiring more time to dry and creating a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. Chem-dry’s carpet cleaning system is simply healthier and more complete that steam cleaning. Overall, chem-dry offers a healthier, more thorough carpet cleaning experience.

How P.U.R.T.® Works
The Source and Severity of the Odor Are Determined, Then the Carpet Will Be Rinsed and Extracted with a Hot Water Rinse to Remove the Bulk of the Urine Crystals.
In Worst Cases, the Carpet Is Pulled Back in the Suspected Areas to Reveal the Extent of the Damage.*
If Necessary, the Pad Will Be Removed and Replaced.*
An Odor Blocking Shellac May Be Applied to the Sub-Floor if Determined Necessary.*
P.U.R.T.® Will Then Be Applied Heavily to the Tack Strip, the Sub floor, the Baseboards and the Carpet Backing. It Is Necessary to Apply This Product Heavily Enough to Dampen All Areas Affected by the Urine. *
Over the Next 24 to 36 Hours, the Ingredients in P.U.R.T.® Will React with the Urine, and Break Down the Odor Causing Components.
