The five Chem-Dry strengths

What sets Chem-Dry apart, in plain language.

    Healthier Deeper Clean

    Cleaner through the pile, not just on top

    Hot Carbonating Extraction lifts dirt, dust and allergens out of the carpet fibre instead of pushing them around. Good news for Gold Coast homes where sand, sunscreen and sticky summer air settle deep into the weave.

    Fast Drying Times

    Back on your floors in about 1–2 hours

    Chem-Dry uses about 80% less water than typical steam cleaning, so most carpets are ready to walk on again within roughly 1–2 hours. Less water also matters in humid Gold Coast weather, where soaked carpet can stay damp for a long time.

  3. Safer Choice and ECOLOGO certification logos

    Eco Certifications

    Safer-choice cleaning for lived-in homes

    Chem-Dry’s main cleaner, The Natural®, carries EPA Safer Choice and ECOLOGO certifications. In plain words: independent groups have checked it, and it is made for homes with kids and pets.
