About the Opportunity
Chem-Dry began as a healthy and green alternative to traditional carpet cleaning companies. Our product is so good that 90% of customers come from word of mouth referrals and from current repeat customers. These repeat customers represent 96% of our overall business. As you might imagine, this creates tremendous growth opportunity and sustainability while taking much of the headache out of marketing. Today, we are the world’s largest carpet cleaning franchise with over 3,500 franchises worldwide and over 35 years’ experience making people’s homes cleaner and healthier. We’ve offered professional, environmentally safe service and cleaning from our founding in 1977 and since 1986 in Australia. As a result, we are confident it’s impossible to find a better cleaning franchise opportunity. We have Chem-Dry franchise owners who have been in our system for decades and have been named Entrepreneur Magazine’s top-rated carpet cleaning business 25 years in a row.

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?
