WEBSITEChem-Dry is a carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning franchise chain with main offices in Logan, Utah and Nashville, Tennessee. When it was founded in 1977, it was originally based in California.

Chem-Dry uses a hot carbonated extraction process, which is a much drier process than steam cleaning. They also now offer encapsulation, a process to aid commercial carpet cleaning. They offer upholstery cleaning and pet odor removal as well.
