Our Story
A New Lenox Chem-Dry Business Since 1981
K&T Chem-Dry has served local homes and businesses since 1981.
The company offers a healthy alternative to traditional steam cleaning with Hot Carbonating Extraction, a process that uses less water and leaves carpets dry in hours instead of days.
From carpet and upholstery cleaning to area rugs, tile, and pet odor treatment, K&T Chem-Dry focuses on helping south-suburban customers enjoy cleaner, healthier homes.
The wider Chem-Dry story began with Robert Harris in the 1970s. Inspired by the use of club soda on a clothing stain, he developed a carbonated approach to carpet cleaning. Chem-Dry has used its low-water cleaning method since 1977, before K&T Chem-Dry began serving the New Lenox area in 1981.
How Our Cleaning Process Works
Our cleaning process combines a carbonated cleaning solution with extraction equipment to lift and remove dirt from carpet fibers.
As a Chem-Dry franchise, we use Hot Carbonating Extraction. Our team can explain the process and discuss the cleaning needs of your carpets and upholstery before service.
Your Carpets Dry Fast
The process used by Chem-Dry uses about 80% less water than typical steam cleaning. Carpets typically dry in 1–2 hours; drying time varies with humidity, airflow, carpet type, and the cleaning required.
It Reduces Non-Living Allergens
Hot Carbonating Extraction has been tested by an independent lab and shown to reduce non-living allergens* — such as dust mite matter and pet dander — from carpets and upholstery.
No Harsh Chemicals
The Natural®, our core cleaning solution, doesn't rely on soapy detergents or harsh chemicals, detergents, or fragrances. Ask our team about products used for any additional treatments and when cleaned areas are ready to use.
*Removes allergens from non-living sources, such as dog and cat dander and dust mite matter. Based on results from a study conducted by an independent lab using the Chem-Dry Hot Carbonating Extraction process. Figures are an average across multiple homes.
