Carpet Cleaning
Our Process is Tested & Proven to Remove Contaminants
When it comes to carpet cleaning near you, we know you have plenty of options—but not all methods deliver the same results. At Empire City Chem-Dry, we’re committed to creating healthier homes, which is why we set out to measure the impact of our cleaning process on indoor air quality. To ensure accuracy, we partnered with a leading independent lab to test our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process in real homes.
The findings speak for themselves: Chem-Dry’s method effectively removes common non-living allergens, such as dust mites and pet dander, from carpets and upholstery.* The result? A cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable environment for you and your family.
Drier
The Chem-Dry carpet cleaning process uses less water than typical steam cleaning, so carpets dry within hours, not days. This means you and your family can get back to enjoying your home sooner. See a full comparison of Chem-Dry vs steam cleaning to see all of the benefits of choosing Chem-Dry carpet cleaners.
Cleaner
Our primary carpet cleaning solution is carbonated and as it penetrates deep into your carpet’s fibers, it lifts the dirt from deep within your carpets so it can be whisked away with our powerful extraction equipment giving you the most thorough clean.
Healthier
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning services use a low-water method which means there is less risk of mold and mildew growth under your carpet that can result from the excessive water used by most steam carpet cleaners. We use a powerful cleaning solution, called The Natural, that does not contain any harsh soaps or chemicals.

Fight Stains with Carpet Protectant Package
Your carpets get a lot of use, dirt and spills are inevitable. Over time, the factory-applied stain resistant becomes less effective and fades away leaving your carpets susceptible to staining. Chem-Dry Protectant is a heavy duty compliment to our carpet cleaner that refreshes the performance of stain resistant carpets, creating a barrier around the carpet fibers to resist soiling and staining by allowing spills to be removed before staining can occur.
- PowerGuard Protectant® – This revolutionary carpet stain protectant not only gives a boost to your carpet’s stain-resisting powers, but works well with solution-dyed carpets.
- Repel Protectant – Repel Protectant works with all kinds of carpets by forming a protective shield around each carpet fiber. This liquid-repelling carpet solution doesn’t give stains the chance to set in. It repels most stains, allowing a window of opportunity for you to soak up the spill on your own before it adheres to the carpet fiber.
- Wool Protectant – Chem-Dry’s Wool Protectant is a water-based solution specifically designed to enhance the stain resistant qualities of wool carpets and rugs. It defends against most liquid spills to stop stains in their tracks.
Chem-Dry has become a trusted name in carpet cleaning for thousands of households, cleaning in more than 10,000 households daily worldwide and more than 1 billion square feet of carpet every year, and for good reason. Our carpet cleaners use a unique Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) cleaning process to deliver a deeper, longer-lasting carpet cleaning combined with a solution that is incredibly effective.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Cleaning
How often should I have my carpets cleaned?
Industry experts suggest that homeowners clean their carpets every 6-12 months, especially in homes with kids, pets, or if someone in your home has asthma or allergies. Regular cleaning will not only improve your home’s appearance, but it will remove non-living allergens*, improve your home’s indoor air quality, and extend the life of your carpeting.
Is Chem-Dry a steam cleaner?
No, Chem-Dry is not a steam cleaner. Chem-Dry uses carbonation to lift up dirt and grime from your carpets so we do not need to use the gallons of water that typical steam cleaners use.

What is the best carpet cleaning method?
The Chem-Dry cleaning process is better and healthier than other methods for your carpet and upholstery cleaning. Our unique hot carbonating extraction carpet cleaning method uses the power of carbonation to extract more dirt and grime from your carpets, giving them a deeper and longer-lasting clean. Our carbonated cleaning solution only requires us to use a fraction of the moisture other methods, such as steam cleaning, require. This allows your carpets to dry faster, typically in a few hours rather than 1-2 days, and helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew under your carpet. Our signature cleaning solution, The Natural®, is a cleaning mixture that—through the power of carbonation—lifts dirt to the surface where it is whisked away.
