About Us
Harris Research is the owner of the Chem-Dry brand. Founded in 1977, Chem-Dry is the world's leading carpet and upholstery cleaning service, with nearly 3,500 units in over 50 countries. Its green-certified solution and proprietary Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning process provide a deeper clean, allow surfaces to dry faster and leaves homes and businesses healthier. Entrepreneur magazine has rated Chem-Dry the top carpet cleaning franchise for 33 years in a row.
Our Industry
Carpet cleaning is a massive market. Every year, home and business owners install an estimated 10 billion square feet of new carpet, and all of it has to be cleaned. Carpet makes up more than 52 percent of all residential floor coverings in the United States, and Chem-Dry has devised a better way to clean it and keep it clean.
Since our founding in 1977, we've used a patented method of Hot Carbonating Extraction to attack dirt, dust, oils and allergens in carpet fibers and on hard surfaces.
Our carpets dry more quickly and stay cleaner and healthier for longer than they would with any other cleaning method; we're proud that the Carpet & Rug Institute has given our process its Seal of Approval. Our method is safe and environmentally friendly, with an organic cleaner and no harmful chemicals or soaps.
