+ 0 morePrior to the scheduled appointment I was not aware my sofa was dry clean only. The sofa being primarily white with small and large blue flowers I was very concerned when informed by the cleaning technician that the sofa could not be steamed cleaned. After a full explanation of the cleaning process that could be done, I was truly pleased with the results. While I wanted a sofa that looked brand new, I knew there were limitations. However the sofa did look brighter and he was able to remove some of the stains.

+ -1 moreWe used Chem-Dry a couple of years ago to clean our area rugs, and they did a great job. When we got a mailer this January offering a 35% off-season discount, we made an appointment to have our wall-to-wall carpets cleaned too. The technician arrived promptly for the appointment, worked independently, left the work areas spotless, neat, and nearly dry. The rugs were completely dry in hours, and continue to look great. I highly recommend Academy Chem-Dry for any kind of carpet cleaning, and they absoluted honor their advertized discounts.
Description of Work: Chem-Dry removed stains, cleaned, sanitized, and applied a stain protector for 4 rooms, plus a hallway and carpeted stairway.

The first time around with Chem-Dry, the carpet wasn't damp at all. They did a great job. They were very helpful. They did a little extra spot work, which was nice.

+ -1 moreI chose Chem-Dry because they said the carpet dries in a couple of hours. The opposite was actually the case. It took several DAYS for the carpet to dry after putting fans all around the house. The worst thing was the carpets did not even look good when they did dry. Worse experience ever getting carpet cleaned in 40 years. I will NEVER use them again.

+ 0 moreI found Academy ChemDry in the monthly Angie's List brochure. When I called to make an appointment, a very pleasant but knowledgeable customer service rep asked a series of questions to better understand my needs and to properly inform the technician calling on our home. The tech, Bruce, was prompt on both the evaluation and treatment appointments. Additionally, he took the time to explain their process during the evaluation, and insured that our needs were properly documented, particularly regarding pet urine affected area rugs) that the tech assigned would perform exactly what was promised. Turns out, Bruce was the cleaning tech and our carpets/rugs look fantastic. He is very professional and respectful of property, which is a plus in my mind. I commend the owner, George, for his excellence in management and customer service. I highly recommend Academy ChemDry for all your carpet-cleaning needs. Will definitely maintain a schedule with them.

Man showed up on time (before me, actually) was efficient, prompt, and the carpets look great. There was actually more area than I had advised them and I paid them 20% more although they did not ask for it. I would definitely use these folks again.

Description of Work: Academy Chem-Dry cleaned our rugs. We had just bought a new house, and the previous owner had a dog. We wanted them to check first if there was any thug in the rugs; they found it and treated it. Then, they came back a couple of days to do the final cleaning.

carpet cleaners
+ -1 moreAcademy Chem-Dry did fine. I've never used a company with a Chem-Dry process before so I thought I'd give it a whirl because they don't soak the carpet. A very nice young man came out exactly on time. He did a fine job and I'm perfectly satisfied. I liked the process and we chatted about the different processes. The machines that soak the rug leave a lot of soap and moisture behind. Some of the steam cleaners are good but take 3 or 4 days to properly dry out. I'm happy with it. I will call them back. I have an older house and the carpet was fitted by the previous owner. It needs cleaning every 90 days. I have a dog and he doesn't clean his feet! He was a very courteous guy and went about his work without dawdling. Responsiveness was good, I called and we made the appointment and he arrived promptly.
Description of Work: Academy Chem-Dry cleaned my carpets. This was the living room, dining room and hallway as well as the half-finished basement.

carpet cleaners
+ -1 moreThe man doing the cleaning was prompt and professional. Unfortunately the chem dry process may not have been the best choice for this carpet cleaning job. I think a much more aggressive process would be required to clean this carpet. You could tell the carpet was cleaner than before the process but needed much more cleaning to bring it back to a reasonably cleaner condition.
Description of Work: Everything was good with this company except that the chem-dry process didn't remove the stains or odor from the carpet as well as I had hoped. There seemed to not be as much physical scrubbing of the carpet as I thought would be necessary. The process simply applies their fluid and with some very light agitation. in some places it removed light surface dirt but not any deep in the fiber dirt and stain. So, in this case marginal results were achieved in my opinion. I went around by hand with a water/detergent mix and was able to remove or minimize all the stains I tried with only a fair amount of scrubbing with a brush and drying with a terry cloth towel. This left a cleaner and lighter color halo around all the areas I hand cleaned showing the carpet still had dirt in it left behind by the chem dry process. That is why I wanted to get the carpet cleaned by a machine/detergent process so I would ot have to clean it by hand. I think their process would be better with a much more aggressive scrubbing unit on this really dirty carpet. It did remove some of the dirt but the odor and overall/dirt and stain removal was less than I expected.

I was very pleased. Although the technician will say that the carpets dry quickly--they do not. You must be patient and wait at least a day for them to completely dry.

+ -1 moreThey always come when they say they are going to come and call me before they come. They treat all the pet stains and they put some stuff on the carpet to repel the new stains. I like their product and they do a dry cleaning sort of method rather than steam cleaning, so my carpets don?t get wet. Their pricing is reasonable and the quality of their work is good.

+ -1 moreThe carpet was cleaner, but they were a little hard to get scheduled. They called and stated that they were on their way and still didn't show up for a half hour after they were supposed to be here. I guess overall I was pleased with them, my carpets do look a little better, but next time I would probably shop around first.

+ -1 moreAn excellent job! The technician arrived on time, evaluated the work, and provided us with several cleaning options. There were several stubborn stains that we wanted removed. He made no promises (these were awful stains), but went straight to work and successfully removed them all. He helped me move the heavy furniture and replace it when he was finished. The carpets were fully dry in about two hours, just as he had promised. They look like new. We are totally pleased with this service, and recommend Academy Chem Dry highly.
