Home Health Study

Carpets, area rugs and upholstered furniture act as giant filters, trapping allergens and bacteria and keeping them out of the air we breathe. But just like an air filter, carpets become full over time and must be properly cleaned to remain effective at trapping particulates as they settle from the air. This is especially important for the 1 in 5 Americans (roughly 60 million people) living with allergies or asthma. You can promote healthier indoor air by keeping carpets clean and in good condition through regular vacuuming and professional cleaning of carpets, rugs and upholstery every 3–4 months.

Tested and Proven Results

Removing Allergens from Your Home

All of us — particularly those who suffer from allergies and disorders like asthma — are greatly impacted by indoor air quality and the amount of allergens and bacteria trapped in our homes. Considering we spend an average of 90% of our time indoors, professional carpet cleaning serves an important function in the health of your home and family.

Not all carpet cleaning services are alike. To find out how big an impact a Chem-Dry cleaning can have on home health, we commissioned a leading independent air quality laboratory to conduct a study using Chem-Dry's Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process in multiple homes. Lab testing found that Chem-Dry removes the vast majority of common household allergens from the carpets and upholstery we clean — including cat and dog dander and dust mite allergen.

Removing Bacteria, Improving Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is also a significant home-health concern: as bacteria builds up in carpet, it gets stirred up and circulates in the air your family breathes. The same independent laboratory found that a Chem-Dry cleaning is highly effective at removing bacteria from carpets — and adding a sanitizer to our HCE process substantially reduced bacteria in the air and in the carpet as well.

At Chem-Dry, we want you to breathe easier about the healthfulness of your home. Whether you suffer from allergies or asthma or you just want a healthier home for your family, a Chem-Dry carpet cleaning helps remove the allergens and bacteria hiding in your home and improves your indoor air quality.
