I used ChemDry for about 5-6 years to help clean our micro apartments. They provided a great service then and continue to provide it now. Gene, the owner is the one that comes to do the job. He was responsive to my initial call and prompt to the date/time set up for the job. He left the carpets cleaned, disinfected, and smelling fabulous! We will definitely call him again in the future.
★★★★★
We would HIGHLY recommend Chem-dry!! We had two bad pee spots in our house from our older dog who had had some medical issues and then our puppy. One spot had been peed on multiple times by multiple dogs. We’d tried at-home products and regular carpet cleaning multiple times and there were still stains and they still smelled like pee. After two years (!!) of trying other products and companies, Chem-dry got it completely out!! And he was only here for like 90 minutes! I’m so impressed. We will definitely be using them again next time we need any kind of carpet cleaning. He was also very nice and professional!
Professional Wood Floor Cleaning in Seattle: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is professional wood floor cleaning better than mopping?
While regular mopping is important for surface maintenance, it often just spreads dirt around or leaves behind soapy detergents. Chem-Dry of Seattle uses specialized equipment with counter-rotating brushes that penetrate the grain of the wood to remove deep-seated dirt, grime, and non-living allergens*. Our process extracts these contaminants from your home rather than leaving them on the surface.
Does your wood floor cleaning process use a lot of water?
No. Excessive moisture is a primary cause of damage to wood floors, leading to issues like buckling or warping. Our specialized cleaning process uses minimal moisture to effectively deep clean your floors while protecting the integrity of the wood. This ensures a thorough refresh of your Seattle home’s flooring without the risks associated with heavy water volumes.
Can you help restore the shine to my dull hardwood floors?
Yes. After we deep clean your floors to remove dirt and contaminants, we apply a professional-grade wood floor polish. This polish not only adds a beautiful, durable shine but also provides a protective barrier against future damage. By choosing Chem-Dry of Seattle, you can renew the look of your wood floors and help extend their lifespan.
