The Carbonated Secret Revealed
The secret to our drier, healthier clean? Carbonation. Millions of tiny effervescent bubbles do the hard work for you:
- Carbonating bubbles penetrate deep, lifting dirt and grime to the surface
- Powerful extraction whisks it all away, no soaking, no residue
- Far less water, so furniture dries in a fraction of the time
- Sofas, chairs and couches stay cleaner for longer
Fight Stains with Upholstery Protectant
Spills happen, so add a layer of defence. Ask your technician about Chem-Dry Protectant, an invisible barrier applied after your cleaning that helps your furniture fight back against everyday life:
- Repels spills so you can blot them up before they set in
- Helps resist everyday stains and soiling
- Restores the factory stain guard that fades over time
- Keeps furniture looking great and cleaner between cleanings
Pet Accidents on Your Sofa? Ask About P.U.R.T.®
We love our pets, and we know you do too. Our Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.®) doesn't mask odours with perfume, it eliminates them at the source by breaking down the urine crystals deep in your upholstery, so the smell is gone for good.
- Trained technicians use a UV light to find hidden accidents you can't see
- A chemical reaction destroys the odour-causing crystals deep in the fabric and cushioning
- Effective on pet urine, and other sources, including human urine
Frequently Asked Questions About Upholstery Cleaning
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Most furniture dries within 2 hours. Heavily soiled or saturated pieces may take slightly longer.
Can you add stain protection?
Yes. We can apply Chem-Dry Protectant after cleaning to help guard your furniture against future stains.
What types of upholstery and fabric can you clean?
At Chem-Dry Ottawa, we are upholstery cleaning specialists, and our process is suited to a wide range of materials, including those commonly found in furniture stores such as Restoration Hardware and Crate & Barrel. Our expert technicians clean, condition and protect your furniture to extend its life and keep it looking its best.
How does Chem-Dry clean upholstery?
We use our Hot Carbonating Extraction process. Carbonating bubbles release dirt and allergens from deep in the fibres, then our equipment extracts them for a deeper, healthier clean.
How often should furniture be cleaned?
Most manufacturers suggest every 12–24 months. Homes with kids, pets or allergy sufferers will benefit from cleaning more often.
Why have furniture professionally cleaned?
A large share of the dust and dirt brought into a home settles into soft furnishings. Professional cleaning removes what regular vacuuming cannot, for a healthier home.
