Carpet Cleaning

Tri-Town Chem-Dry is one of the leading carpet cleaners in the Merrillville & Valparaiso, IN area. Our cleaning process is designed to give carpets a deeper, longer-lasting, healthier clean without the use of harsh chemicals or detergents. Using the natural cleaning properties of carbonation, Chem-Dry is able to lift the dirt from deep in your carpets to the surface where it can be whisked away, resulting in both a deeper clean and increased carpet life. Trust Tri-Town Chem-Dry to help you maintain a healthy home in Merrillville.

Using the patented Chem-Dry® equipment and solutions means that we clean deeper, but more gently. We remove smells and stain from deep within your carpets, not just the surface, so you know your carpet are really clean. We leave your carpets clean and fresh without soaking them with water and harsh chemicals. Most other cleaning methods force water down into your carpet fibers and padding, and through suction is used to remove the water, a large amount remains. This creates a breeding ground for mold that can be harmful to your home and family. When you choose Tri-Town Chem-Dry, your carpets dry in 1-2 hours, rather than the 1-2 days required by most carpet cleaning companies.

Drier. Cleaner. Healthier® Carpet Cleaning

DRIER. Our 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.
CLEANER. Our primary carpet cleaning solution is carbonated and, just like club soda, 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.
HEALTHIER. We use a natural, green-certified cleaning solution that does not contain any harsh soaps or chemicals and is completely safe and non-toxic for your family and pets.

The Carbonated Secret Revealed

The secret to Chem-Dry’s clean is The Natural®, a cleaner that contains millions of microscopic carbonated cleaning bubbles. These carbonation bubbles penetrate deep into the fibers of the carpet, carrying dirt and grime off of the carpet fibers to the surface. Then, we use hot water extraction to lift the dirty particles out of your carpets for good. This concept is almost identical to that of using club soda to remove a stain from a shirt. The cleaning power of the carbonated solutions creates a powerful reaction that deep cleans carpets and upholstery in a safe and gentle way.

Rather than harsh chemicals, our green-certified cleaner uses ingredients copied from Mother Nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Chem-Dry compare to steam cleaning?

Traditional steam cleaning often soaks carpets with an excessive amount of water filled with soaps and detergents. Carpets are then wet for 1-2 days, which creates a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria. Plus the soapy residue left behind attracts dirt and causes your carpets to get dirty much faster.

On the other hand, Tri-Town Chem-Dry’s process is very different. We need only a fraction of the water that typical steam cleaners use and instead rely on millions of microscopic bubbles to explode dirt from deep in your carpet fibers. We can then quite easily extract the dirt and moisture from the carpet.

How do you remove pet urine odor from carpets?

Pet odors can linger for months if not treated properly. As urine dries in the carpet and padding, what’s left are millions of concentrated urine crystals that become even more pungent. Many companies just mask this odor. Chem-Dry uses a patented system, P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment), to explode the urine crystals and break down the enzymes which gets rid of the pet urine odor forever.

Will my carpets re-soil quickly after the cleaning is finished?

Not with Tri-Town Chem-Dry. Many carpet cleaners including steam cleaners use soaps and detergents in their process. These soaps leave behind sticky residue that attracts dirt, leading to carpets re-soiling quickly after JUST being cleaned and often requires more frequent professional cleanings. At Tri-Town Chem-Dry, we use a natural, biodegradable carpet and upholstery cleaning solution that doesn’t contain any soaps, detergents or harsh chemicals, so it won’t leave any sticky or dirt-attracting residue.

How long will it take for my carpet to dry completely?

Drying time depends on humidity levels, airflow to the room(s) cleaned, and the type of carpet. In general, turning on your air conditioning or fans will help accelerate dry times. After a professional cleaning, it typically takes 1-2 hours for the carpet to dry. Sometimes carpets can take longer to dry for various reasons.

Should I vacuum before you arrive?

This is not necessary. Our professionally trained technicians will vacuum your carpets with our commercial, HEPA-filtered vacuum when they arrive as a standard part of our service.

What is considered a room?

Our room sizes are based on 150 sq ft. If any of your rooms are over 150 sq ft, there may be an additional area charge. Hallways and stairs are considered to be separate from a room.
