History

The Chem-Dry story started in the early 1970s with Robert Harris, a young man from California who worked for a carpet cleaning company while he attended law school.

Harris wasn’t impressed with the cleaning products his company and its competitors were using.

While on a flight back home during a break in classes, some salad dressing landed on his silk tie. A flight attendant removed the stain with a surprising “cleaner”: club soda.

If carbonated water could work on a tie, he thought, why not on carpet?
