Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction process uses carbonation to lift dirt from deep within carpet fibers. This method removes 98% of non-living allergens and dries in 1-2 hours. Technicians apply The Natural solution, a non-toxic cleaner, followed by powerful extraction to remove contaminants. Regular cleanings improve indoor air quality and extend carpet lifespan by preventing fiber degradation from embedded particles.
Pet Odor Removal
The patented Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.) breaks down urine crystals at a molecular level. UV light identifies hidden contamination areas before applying the enzymatic solution. The 24-36 hour reaction period destroys odor-causing compounds rather than masking them. This service restores carpet pH balance and prevents recurring pet accidents through molecular-level neutralization of attractants.
Upholstery Cleaning
Hot Carbonating Extraction safely cleans delicate upholstery fibers without oversaturation. The Natural solution removes embedded dirt while preserving fabric integrity. Technicians apply protectant to resist future stains and use Fresh-n-Free deodorizer to eliminate trapped odors. This process maintains manufacturer warranties by avoiding harsh chemicals that degrade materials or void protections.
Tile and Grout Cleaning
Specialized equipment removes built-up grime from porous tile surfaces without damaging sealants. The process includes grout sealing to prevent future staining and color restoration for faded grout lines. Technicians use pH-balanced cleaners safe for natural stone surfaces like granite and travertine, restoring original appearance while maintaining slip resistance and structural integrity.
Commercial Cleaning
Customizable cleaning plans accommodate office hours and operational needs. Services include cubicle cleaning, high-traffic area maintenance, and post-event deep cleaning. The low-moisture method allows immediate use of cleaned spaces, minimizing business disruption. Commercial clients receive documentation for compliance with health and safety regulations while maintaining professional environments for employees and customers.
Questions
What makes Chem-Dry's cleaning method different from steam cleaning?
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction uses 80% less water and carbonation to lift dirt, drying in 1-2 hours versus 1+ days for steam cleaning.
How does Chem-Dry remove pet urine odors permanently?

All primary solutions, including The Natural, contain ingredients from the FDA's Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list.

The best customer service I have ever experienced! Had them come clean three wool area rugs that were left by the previous owners of the house I purchased. I wasn't 100% satisfied with the cleaning I paid for but hesitated to call because I really didn't know if the previous owners cleaned them properly before leaving them behind. I am so glad I decided to call them back! If I could give them 5 more stars for their follow through, I would. I highly recommend this company for any and all the services they provide. Give Renee at the Salem office a call. The crew and her are amazing!

Chem-Dry did a great job on our carpets today. I have used them before and I will keep on using them. I tried other places and the carpet always takes a long time to dry. Chem-Dry does a much better job getting them clean. Thank you

Amazing! Elizabeth and Jose are wonderful. We use them all the time for our home in Danville and we trust them with our home. They are always available to us and do a lovely job. We have two dogs and a cat and high end carpet and this is how we keep it nice! Elizabeth and Jose have access to our home and are there while we are not and could not be a more stand up trustworthy service company. Looking for the BEST carpet Cleaning in the East Bay, call them! Dial (925) 687-1559 though as there is another Chem Dry in area that I have confused before.

Been using AK Chem Dry for 10 years at least, and are always pleased with the result and the price. With white/off white carpeting, it is hard to get them perfectly clean, but Jose does the best job of any cleaner we have used. Klutz that I am, wine and greasy gravy gets spilled, along with the usual ground in dirt. But Jose gets it all out every time. Elizabeth, the owner, always calls me when Jose is on his way, which is typically near the end of a 2 hour window in the morning as he always does their commercial jobs early.
For those concerned about drying time, we have found that the first morning slot is the best time as the carpeting has all day to dry completely. When it is not warm or hot outside, it helps a lot to use portable fans or let your furnace fan run on air only setting. When it is warm/hot, turning on the AC dries it quickly. Another hint, buy Chem Dry spray spot cleaner at the same time for in between touch ups. Same price as from Amazon.

Jose and Ellie recently cleaned my carpets and I couldn't be happier. They did a thorough and fabulous job! They took the time to educate me on the best products for my carpet. I had used something where my dog peed that is not good for my carpets and hadn't even realized it. They made the area look good and now I know what to use. My carpet looks like new, just wish I could keep it that way. I will for sure use them again the next time I need to clean my carpets. Marilyn H

Ryan Greer from Chem-Dry came by our place sometime early last year. Unlike some customers, our carpet wasn't being used as a litter box, but it did have seven years worth of accumulated dirt and stains. Ryan's service was quick and professional and, by the end, the carpet actually looked clean. I was very impressed with Chem-Dry and, if the opportunity presented itself, I'd hire them again.

Selling my home and wanted it to look it's best. Zach from Chem Dry did a fantastic job. Very courteous and professional. I had a minor repair in my kitchen that had nothing to do with his job, but he helped me out anyway. Will definitely use your service again. My house looks and smells wonderful! Thanks ZACH! My home will present beautifully to home shoppers, all fresh and clean!

We hired Chem-Dry of Salem to clean our bedroom carpet that had pet urine in the carpet. They were there one hour and when they left the bedroom smelled so bad we had to open the window and shut the door for a week. When it still smelled we called and they came back out and put chemicals on the carpet that left the room smelling of lemon chemicals. When that smell wore off the room still smelled of pet urine.
Five months later the carpet still smelled and we called another carpet cleaner to clean the carpet. They spent 2 1/2 hours cleaning and when they left the room smelled clean and FREE of urine and they were cheaper. I called Chem-Dry of Salem a week ago and they said they would have kept coming back until the carpet was free of the urine smell. How many times do you have to come back when the other carpet cleaner did it in one cleaning. If you want the name of a good carpet cleaner feel free to call me at 503-586-4114 and I will give you the name of the company I used.

I have used AK Chem Dry for probably 10 years and have always had fabulous, friendly service. They show up on time and do great work for a reasonable price. Today I spilled a blue cleaner on my carpet and couldn't get it out. I called AK Chem Dry for an emergency visit. They responded and were at my house within an hour or two. And best of all they were able to get the blue cleaner out of my off-white carpet! I HIGHLY recommend them for general cleaning or for tough spots you think won't come out. Thank you AK Chem Dry!

First time user. Saw a coupon and booked an appt. Gave a 2 hr time window and called 20 min before they arrived during the window. i have been used to steam cleaners. They spray some type of solution on the carpet and then they use a circular pad to go over the carpet (three times in my case). Then they vacuum the carpet, A hard working couple did the work. My carpets were rather stained, and they did a great job on the carpet.
The stains were all gone! The carpet was damp, and most of it dried in about 2 hours. Parts that were stained orginally took longer to dry, probably because they sprayed more cleaning solution on it. After it dried, it looked nice. Everything was done well and I will use them again! With the coupon, they are very reasonably priced.

They gave me a three hour window. But didn't call and never showed up. When it already was late I called them but no answer so I left a message. They never called me back. Very disappointing.

I called them last week to book an appointment after receiving a coupon in the mail. They showed up today (at the end of a 2 hour window) but were professional and incredibly hard-working. They got all my carpets, which were badly stained by my 2 dogs, clean and new looking! I felt very safe and they also cleaned my couch. It looks amazing too. I would highly recommend them! They confirmed the appointment the day before (yesterday) and they called today to let me know that they were arriving within 20 minutes.

I have used AK Chem Dry for almost 5 years. Up until recently, I would have given them a 4-5 star - always on time, very courteous on the phone, very thorough job. Unfortunately, their last visit left me very disappointed. I had arranged for them to clean all of the carpets in my house. We have white carpets and are neurotic about keeping the carpets clean (no shoes, no drinks etc.) When they arrived they told me that the price was going to basically double because I needed some "booster" treatment for stains.
I informed them that I was not interested. At that point, the technician told me that the booster was pre-mixed into the cleaning fluids in the machine - and that I would have to pay for it. (Wrong!) Needless to say, I did NOT pay for the booster. This last time, their cleaning was mediocre and I still had spots on my carpet after they left (which makes me wonder if the miracle "booster" was actually in there in the first place) Time to "clean house" and find a new green carpet cleaner!

We had a big holiday party during which several martinis seem to have found there way onto our white carpeting. My wife found a coupon for AK Chem Dry so we tried them. I was there at first since some of the cleaners we had before were creepy. The guy who came was professional, clean cut and did a great job. They have come a couple more times and are the only people my wife feels safe home alone with. In addition, their prices are pretty darn reasonable.

Great service. Showed up on time and Jason was very professional and personable. Got the cat pee out of my carpet and they look and smell great. Very reasonably priced too, I will definitely use them again.

First time getting carpet cleaning service and it was awesome! Money well spent!! We are in the process of moving to a new home and with a baby on the way, I wanted to make sure the carpet was clean. With less than a week from moving day, David was able to accommodate a day and time that worked for us. David arrived at our place on time, and even called before hand to let me know he was on his way.
He was super professional, answered all my carpet cleaning questions, and diligently went to work for about an hour for 3 bedrooms. His prices are great! A better deal than the local competitors ( I know, because I called several!!). We definitely recommend David and his services!!! A+ all the way!

I would highly recommend Sunrise Chem-Dry. David was very friendly and professional and their services are top notch. I had several high traffic areas that were really looking bad. After cleaning, my carpet looks and feels great. Great prices, prompt response time, and fantastic quality work!!
