Yes! Unlike many typical steam cleaners who use harsh detergents, Chem-Dry uses a safe and non-toxic cleaning solution called The Natural® as our core cleaning solution. This not only means that it is free from harsh chemicals, but is a more effective method of cleaning your carpets.

Our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process is the answer. Because this process does not rely on soap-based cleansers or detergents, there's no risk of a residue being left behind or a crunchy texture developing after the carpet is dry.

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 Chem-Dry professional cleaning, it typically takes 1-2 hours for the carpet to dry.

The cleaning processes we work with are safe for every member of your family, including children and pets. While tough on stains and odors, the formulas we use are gentle enough to treat areas where animals reside and do not contain harsh detergents or irritating fragrances.
