Chem-Dry, The GREENER Carpet Cleaner
You wouldn’t add soaps, detergents, phosphates or other harsh chemicals to our air, lakes, streams or forests, so why add them to your carpets? At Southside Chem-Dry, our team is driven by sustainable thinking and working towards a greener environment through the past two decades of green cleaning solutions.
Southside Chem-Dry’s flagship cleaning solution, The Natural®, is on the FDA’s G.R.A.S. list; however, our dedication to Green doesn’t stop there. Southside Chem-Dry’s cleaning process only requires about 1/5 of the amount of water that other cleaners use, meaning that your home is healthier and cleaner, without the harsh chemicals and excessive moisture. Think about how far we differ from regular carpet and steam cleaners who require a large amount of water and harsh chemicals to obliterate and remove dirt in your gentle carpet fibers.
