Business Model

Chem-Dry began as a healthy and green alternative to traditional carpet cleaning companies. Our product is so good that 90% of customers come from word of mouth referrals and from current repeat customers. These repeat customers represent 96% of our overall business. As you might imagine, this creates tremendous growth opportunity and sustainability while taking much of the headache out of marketing.

Today, we are the world's largest carpet cleaning franchise with over 3,500 franchises worldwide and over 35 years' experience making people's homes cleaner and healthier.  As a result, we are confident it's impossible to find a better cleaning franchise opportunity. We have Chem-Dry franchise owners who have been in our system for decades and have been named Entrepreneur Magazine's top-rated carpet cleaning business 25 years in a row.

Future Plans

Chem-Dry has always set out and remains to be the Healthy home authority. We could have branched out to lawn mowing, test and tagging and other services but we believe that dilutes the expertise and leadership position in the services that we excel. One service we are introducing is wood floor cleaning and like our other services will be the best possible clean on the market.

Testimonials

Great support network, straight forward and helpful. Provide the guidelines to achieve but the onus is on the franchisee to be successful.

Rod Waterhouse, 2019, VIC 

I did quite a bit of due diligence prior to purchasing a franchise with Chemdry and they ticked all of my boxes, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Peter Westfield, 2019, Launceston TAS

I have been very happy with my Franchise and the opportunities it gives me, so I would see the same for someone else.

Michael Toole, 2019, Berwick VIC

Chemdry Professionals started when Chemdry Australia commenced back in the 80's. When four brothers decided to invest in a Chem-Dry Franchise. We have been operating for over 25 years and a lot of things have changed in that time. And we still love the Chem-Dry products, equipment, procedures and support. We have 9 vans operating when we are busiest and 5-6 vans in quieter months.

The Master Franchise allows us to operate our business with as much contact with Head Office as we want. We are not hounded. The system allows us to be a small operator or grow as much as we want, the products are awesome and the team works strongly together. It is a true interdependence.

Brendan Wilson, 2019, Central Coast NSW

Have been operating my franchise for 26 years. Found master franchise to be most helpful during this time.
