Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning Customers Now Can Receive a Complete Green Clean       

(Logan, UT)– Chem-Dry now offers a more comprehensive, natural clean.  Chem-Dry’s scientists have revamped three new products to provide customers with a green cleaning from start to finish. To complete this line of products, Chem-Dry’s green product list will now include three newly released products: sanitizer, pre-spray and protectant.

Ed Durrant, Chem-Dry’s lead chemist is excited about the three new green solutions, he said, “We care about the environment and our customers; so concocting more green products to offer customers a more complete green clean was what we determined to do.”

Upon application, these three products along with Chem-Dry’s core cleaner, The Natural, combine together to create the proprietary Chem-Dry cleaning process. The solutions are designed to disinfect any microorganisms living in the carpet, lift dirt from carpet fibers and shield the fibers from future spills.

The Natural is on the Food and Drug Administration’s Generally Recognized As Safe list (G.R.A.S). Upon passing the FDA’s test, The Natural then underwent the ITC Labs green screening process. Many of Chem-Dry’s products meet the four strict standards of the ITC Labs Certification Program, which examines a product’s impact on people, pets, air and environment. The four criteria tested by the labs include the following categories:

1. Health, toxicity and safety

2. Protection of aquatic life

3. Safety for materials contacted

4. The products clean air requirements

                                                               
The following represents Chem-Dry’s complete green product list.

• The Natural
• Stain Extinguisher                                               
• World Famous Spot Remover                              
• Upholstery Rinse
• Upholster Wet/Foam Cleaner
• Carpet Deodorizer
• Pet Odor Removal
• Sanitizer
• Traffic Lane Pre-Spray
• PowerGuard Protectant

Chem-Dry uses one-fifth the amount of water during their cleaning processes due to their carbonating cleaning power. Compare this to steam cleaners which require excessive amounts of water and use harsh chemicals. 

These days, technology is consistently changing and innovation is placed as high priority, which is why Chem-Dry’s scientists are consistently creating cutting edge products and systems.  Chem-Dry believes in sustainability and has worked toward offering a greener and cleaner carpet cleaning process for the past two decades.

Chem-Dry, America’s No. 1 Carpet Cleaning Franchise
Reports Rise in Franchise Sales              

               Despite the economic slump, the Chem-Dry franchise sales team thrived last year.  They launched 69 new franchisees across the United States, 42 of which were sold during the typically slow sales months of September to December.  The team is excited to announce that franchise sales have nearly doubled since 2008.
            “We’ve experienced remarkable network growth,” said Bill Knight, Vice President of Franchise Development.   Knight said people are beginning to find security in owning their own business rather than relying on the instability often found in corporate America.
             “As the economy is rebounding and job creation is lagging behind the rebound, more and more people are looking to be connected to a stable, proven concept that is backed by the world’s largest retailer, The Home Depot,” Knight added.   

 Chem-Dry locations are rising for two reasons. One, more people are investing in the Chem-Dry carbonating extraction process, and two, current franchisees are expanding their businesses to new areas across their community, their state and the country.    
               For more than 30 years, the Chem-Dry carpet and upholstery cleaning system has been leading the way in helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals.   Chem-Dry has been rated No. 1 by Entrepreneur Magazine in its category for 21 years straight.  The Chem-Dry secret sauce has been the results of their Hot Carbonating Extraction system and their caring pledge for franchisee success.  Chem-Dry trains each new franchisee at the Harris Research facility in Logan, Utah.  Franchisees learn the Chem-Dry proven business model of how to market, train employees and service their customers.
              One of Chem-Dry’s newest franchise owners, Mike Jacobson, is a Marine and recent owner of Chem-Dry of Stafford in Virginia.  He seemed somewhat unfazed by the country’s financial state. 
              “Chem-Dry is an investment in my family and my future,” said Jacobson.  “I determine my own success but I know I am not alone.  The entire Chem-Dry team is there to support me whether it be in marketing, motivation or any other operational support.  Chem-Dry’s proprietary cleaning method is state of the art.  This offers consumers a drier, cleaner and healthier home.”

Entrepreneurs can quickly discover why investing in a rooted brand backed by a supportive company like Harris Research, Inc. and a network of more than 4,000 experienced franchise owners will help them realize their American dream.  Chem-Dry is the largest carpet cleaning franchise in the world.
