DOES THE COST OF THE FRANCHISE INCLUDE EQUIPMENT?

Yes. It includes equipment and a range of products and chemicals to get you started.

DO I NEED A VAN? CAN I USE A CAR?

DOES CHEM-DRY OFFER TRAINING?

Yes. Chem-Dry offers all the training you require. We cover everything from customer acquisition to marketing to carpet cleaning theory. We also provide ongoing support. You will be assigned a Business Coach to help you hit the ground running. Annual conventions, training events and retreats will keep you in touch with the Chem-Dry family. Continued support is offered by your business coach, marketing team and numerous other departments at the home office.

HOW DO TERRITORIES WORK?

We developed our territories to make sure we achieved proper market penetration but not saturation. We allow multiple franchises in an area based on population, on a ratio of one franchise per 60,000 people.

HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE?

It depends on how much time and effort a franchise owner is willing to expend. At the appropriate time in the process, we allow qualified candidates to communicate with our franchisees, who can relate their experiences.

DOES CHEM-DRY PROVIDE THE WORK?

We have two different franchise options. One is where we teach you how to get the work and support and another where we provide the work. Contact us to see what we have available in your area.

WHAT IS THE CHEM-DRY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?

Our innovative technology is designed to make delivering customer satisfaction a cinch with carpets that are deep-cleaned, quickly dry and healthy for the entire household. Chem-Dry’s mission is helping people live healthy lives, which starts with clean carpets and a healthy home. 

Our proprietary hot carbonating extraction cleaning process penetrates deep into the fibers, removing an average of 98% of common household allergens from carpets and upholstery and 89% of the airborne bacteria in your home when a sanitizer is added.* Plus, our patented green-certified solution, The Natural®, contains no soaps or detergents so it’s safe and non-toxic for your family & pets. 

And, Chem-Dry uses 80% less water than typical steam cleaning so carpets dry in hours instead of days, making it the safer and more convenient carpet cleaning choice. All of this means Chem-Dry cleans for your health like no one else.
