Carpet Cleaning
Our Tested & Proven HCE Process
We understand that you have a choice for carpet cleaning in Charleston. But not all carpet cleaning services are alike. To find out how big an impact a Chem-Dry cleaning can have on home health, we thought it would be helpful to measure how effective our cleaning process is in removing unhealthy and unwanted elements from your home. So we commissioned a leading independent air quality laboratory to conduct a study using Chem-Dry’s Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process in multiple homes. The lab found that Chem-Dry carpet cleaner removes common non-living household allergens* such as dust mite allergens and pet dander from the carpets and upholstery we clean. With Chem-Dry carpet cleaning, you can relax easier about the healthfulness of your home for your family.
Drier
The Chem-Dry carpet cleaning process uses 80% less water than typical steam cleaning, so carpets dry within hours, not days. This means you and your family can get back to enjoying your home sooner. See a full comparison of Chem-Dry vs steam cleaning to see all of the benefits of choosing Chem-Dry carpet cleaners.
Cleaner
Our primary carpet cleaning solution is carbonated. As it penetrates deep into your carpet’s fibers, it lifts the dirt from deep within your carpets so it can be whisked away with our powerful extraction equipment, giving you the most thorough clean.
Healthier
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning services use a low-water method, meaning fast dry times compared to traditional steam cleaners. We use a powerful cleaning solution, called The Natural, that does not contain any harsh soaps or chemicals.
Compare our packages
Find out below how Chem-Dry’s Carpet Protectant Package and Healthy Home Package (professional strength deodorizer) can help protect your home from everyday stains and non-living allergens*.
Deodorize for a Fresh Space with Healthy Home Package
Powerful deodorizer reaches odors absorbed in your carpets so they aren’t just masked – they’re blocked*.
Fight Stains with Carpet Protectant Package
Your carpets get a lot of use, dirt and spills are inevitable. Over time, the factory-applied stain resistant becomes less effective and fades away leaving your carpets susceptible to staining. Chem-Dry Protectant is a heavy duty compliment to our carpet cleaner that refreshes the performance of stain resistant carpets, creating a barrier around the carpet fibers to resist soiling and staining by allowing spills to be removed before staining can occur.
- PowerGuard Protectant® – This revolutionary carpet stain protectant not only gives a boost to your carpet’s stain-resisting powers, but works well with solution-dyed carpets.
- Repel Protectant – Repel Protectant works with all kinds of carpets by forming a protective shield around each carpet fiber. This liquid-repelling carpet solution doesn’t give stains the chance to set in. It repels most stains, allowing a window of opportunity for you to soak up the spill on your own before it adheres to the carpet fiber.
- Wool Protectant – Chem-Dry’s Wool Protectant is a water-based solution specifically designed to enhance the stain resistant qualities of wool carpets and rugs. It defends against most liquid spills to stop stains in their tracks.
Chem-Dry has become a trusted name in carpet cleaning for thousands of households, cleaning in more than 10,000 households daily worldwide and more than 1 billion square feet of carpet every year, and for good reason. Our carpet cleaners in Charleston, SC use a unique Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) cleaning process to deliver a deeper, longer-lasting carpet cleaning combined with a solution that is suitable for your kids and pets. This means you get a clean that is healthier for you, your family, and your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best carpet cleaner to buy?
For maintenance in between professional cleanings, there are a number of Chem-Dry products available online, such as the Stain Extinguisher and Carpet Deodorizers, that will help you to tackle dirt, spills and odors. You can also purchase professional strength cleaners from the professionals at Chem-Dry of Charleston.
What is the best homemade carpet cleaning solution?
There is no substitute for professional-grade cleaning, but regular maintenance can help keep the dirt away. Chem-Dry uses many products that are based on nature, and sometimes the best solution in between professional cleanings is regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter to keep those airborne non-living allergens* at bay.
How do you clean my car's upholstery and carpet?
To supplement regular vacuuming, you might need to remove some stubborn dirt or stains from the upholstery and carpet in your car. Oil can get particularly deep and difficult to remove, so you might want to try a Grease and Oil Stain Extinguisher.
Why does Chem-Dry not use as much as water to clean my carpets as steam cleaning does?
Chem-Dry of Charleston uses up to 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning thanks to our carbonated cleaning solution, The Natural®. This unique formula releases millions of tiny bubbles that lift dirt and grime from deep within your carpet fibers, bringing them to the surface for easy removal. Our low-water approach is not only gentler on your carpets—it also allows them to dry in just 1–2 hours.
