Hired a local Chem-Dry franchisee to clean our carpets; had difficulty getting answers as he was recovering from surgery. Finally set dates for cleaning, but still had not received estimate.

Shows up on day scheduled for cleaning; I ask him to go through the house and provide estimate. He does, I give him the ok and he proceeds. In general, the carpet looked much better, but several stains emerged over the two days between the first cleaning and the come back to finish one more room. When I asked him if his leaking tank sprayer had caused the stains, he admitted that no, it wasn't the tank sprayer, it was his machine, which spits when it stops moving.

We now have several 9-12 inch circular brown stains on our white Berber carpet in places where there were no stains before. His attempts, and his wife's, to clean them on the second visit made them even worse. I contacted him to remedy the situation and was sent to voicemail and never received a call back.

My wife has been trying to clean up their mess ever since. We decided we don't want them back in our home and will never use Chem-Dry again.

Carpet not clean

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Paid $265 for three rooms. The carpet did not seem clean, although some oily marks were removed. After two weeks of airing out because of remaining cooking odors, I cleaned the carpet with a Bissell carpet cleaner and the water I extracted was filthy and full of dog hair and grit. They are supposed to have a professional cleaning system, yet my steamer vac did a much better job and got out the odor too. I called them, and they would only return a portion of the money I paid. Chem Dry does not clean your carpet and their buffer damaged the fibers.

As of today, Aug. 20, 2019, I have not received any resolution from Chem Dry of Buffalo NY.

The last message was an IM via Facebook that stated they will review this incident with the people involved and get back to me. Nothing.

So, I have composed a cover letter, made print outs of all communication along with photos to WIVB Call 4 Action. Hopefully, the TV station will be able to become a mediator for me and help me obtain a refund.

Original review Jul 20, 2019
I had my living room, stairway and 2 bedrooms cleaned by ChemDry on June 24th at a total cost of $499. Originally, I was very pleased to see a difference in the cleanliness of all areas. I also purchased the Purt solution (4 gallons at $79 each) which did nothing. But as the day wore on, I noticed large spots appearing where, at first, there weren’t any. After thoroughly dried, the spots were very obvious and sticky when touched. I phoned ChemDry to file a complaint and a two man crew was sent out to clean the spotted areas and, at my request, clean the complete living room carpet where spots appeared in several areas. Both men agreed with me and both commented that the spots were sticky. I was questioned as to what I’ve used previously and the container of Woolite was photographed for their record. After the cleaning and drying, the spots remained. Today, July 19th, I finally decided that anything I did now would not make the carpet or appearance worse. So, I brought out my Bissel and bought Zep Carpet Cleaner and began to shampoo. Immediately I noticed a difference. The spots are now gone, except for 3 large ones in the living room. These 3 did lighten but did not completely come out. I believed in the advertising of ChemDry yet now feel frustrated at the lack of complete cleaning and sanitary results I received. My disappointment, surprise and additional work have me concluding ChemDry did not live up to its advertisements. I am requesting a full refund of the $499 payment I made. I am attaching photos of the carpets (before and after my cleaning) along with photos of the dirty water my Bissel extracted.

Don't use this company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had chem dry come out in Kent county DE. The wall to wall carpet is 17 months old. It was dusty even though it was vacuumed 2x weekly. They came out didn't vacuum it and did it quickly. After it dried I was left with a sticky white mess. I called them the next day. They said it was caused from construction debris under the padding. They said it couldn't be fixed and that I needed to replace the carpet. I called another company who is going to pick up a sample of the goo. I also pulled back the carpet and the floors and the bottom of the carpet aren't white. There is no drywall stains etc. Don't use this company unless you have money to waste

Very unsatisfied

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

It was my first experience with Chemdry Co. When I called the office I was very clear that I need a deep carpet cleaning and looking for a truck-mounted equipment.

I explained that my apartment is on the 2nd floor and in the middle of the building, so obviously requires a long hose. I was assured by Jeanette this is not a problem and they have everything I need for what I am looking for.

When technician Art arrived, the first thing he did was to inform me that their hoses are short and he would not be able to do a deep cleaning. I called the office right away to find out what went wrong, since I'd emphasized in our initial conversation that I need a truck-mounted cleaning company. Jeanette immediately got rude, sarcastic, accusatory and ended up hanging up the phone.

Not only that, she called the technician on my premises and ordered him not to do the work for me. It took me 2 days and hired people to move the furniture and prepare for that cleaning. So, there was nothing for me left to do but to ask Art to stay and do what he can. Art did the best he could under circumstances.

I am appalled with the customer service, I truly think you don't need to use deception and misinformation to have a successful business. In fact, it does the opposite. Not only I'll never use your services ever again, but I'll spread the word about your practices, so that customers know you lie. Your ethics and morality need a deep cleaning.

With the truck-mounted hose. Thank you.

Granite Countertop Renewal

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
After watching Chem-Dry's video on grout cleaning and reading about their process, I made an appointment to have my countertop renewed. My countertop is noticeably soiled. Instead of cleaning the countertop, the technician sealed my countertop with the soil still very visible. So now the soil is sealed in! I've contacted Chem-Dry to discuss the issue. After hearing my complaint, they are ignoring me and will not accept my calls. This company is demonstrating NO INTEGRITY or movement in correcting the problem they have created with my countertop.

Cons:

Preferred solution: The company can remove the seal from my countertop so it can be cleaned or they can replace it.

Not clean

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have Stain Master carpet less than a year old. There was slight discoloration in the highly traveled areas on the carpet, which I wanted cleaned. The areas of carpet that was cleaned should have been as clean as the areas that had never been walked on. The discoloration was still there. Highly disappointed.

Didn't use

The technician, who must be a family member, came and looked at my carpets Even though I told the office that I have a dog that had an injury and had urine accidents, they didn't say an issue. The technician, however, told me my carpets will smell worse than before. Needless to say, I didn't have him do the work. Who wants a service that leaves you worse off? Unbelievable. I've had my carpets cleaned before and never had issues.

Bait & Switch - Buyer beware with ChemDry!!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

9.4.18 I had ChemDry to my house this morning in Skillman, NJ. They have come several times in the past and have the exact measurements of the 2 rooms where I needed to have the carpet cleaned.

I was quoted a price on the phone. She indicated this was their per room pricing. Since one of the rooms is large, she counted it as 2 rooms so quoted me a price for 3 rooms. I was fine with that even though the price was $240 ($80 per room) and did not include the protectant.

The technicial came and fiddled around on his calculator as my daughter and I moved all the furniture.

He quoted me a new price over $300 again telling me because the room was oversized. I told him they had the measurements of the rooms when they quoted me the pricing - how could there possibly be a different price? Then he got out his measuring tape and started to measure. I told him look, your company had the measurements, we discussed it on the phone and I received a quote based on those measurements.

How can you possibly have a different price? The rooms are the same size as they were the last several times you came out to clean them.

He didn't know but stood by his new improved pricing so I told him it was the $240 for the service we agreed on or he could leave. He left.

Be care of the bait and switch with ChemDry. This isn't the first time it has happened and as I do my research I see many others have had the same experience!
