Richard and his son did a great job and tried **** ** some very dirty stairs. The carpets look very nice and now I can tell the difference between wear patterns and dirt. I like the chem dry, green cleaning much better than the traditional cleaning. I will be anxious to see if this process stays clean longer. I will use them again.

Richard has always been prompt. He shows up on time and gets right to work. I'm always amazed how quickly our carpets get done!! I especially like ChemDry because the carpets dry much quicker than steam cleaning and our carpets always look great when hes done... We have a dog and and Richard has assured me that the product he uses is perfectly safe for our pet. I highly recommend, we have been a customer for about 15 years!

2 reviews 5.0 star rating 2/13/2017 We have used Richard's ChemDry to clean our church carpets (Grace Church, Santee) for years because the process dries quickly and sanitizes the carpets and does not create mold or mildew problems! Also, Richard and his crew are very reliable and stand by their work. Hire them. You won't be disappointed. I've also had them clean my home carpets for the same reasons.

I have used Richard's Chem Dry for 10+ years and have always been pleased with the service Richard and his sons provide to us. I live in Santee and believe in supporting our Santee businesses. Richard's wife, Theresa, is very responsive and willing to work around schedules. Richard's Chem Dry is the only carpet cleaning business I use and recommend him highly to my neighbors and friends.
