What People Are Saying
The real deal!
We have used Raleigh Chem-Dry for years and couldn’t be happier. They are personable, professional, and do a fantastic job every time. Chem-Dry is a national brand with a great reputation for their carpet cleaning system, but not all franchises are equal. Raleigh Chem-Dry is obviously committed to being a top-tier provider, as they are often the first in the Wake Forest market to adopt the latest equipment and techniques. (The tile and grout cleaning will also do wonders!) Don’t fall for the bait-and-switch carpet cleaning scams out there. These guys are the real deal!
Carpet looked like new
We are very pleased with the results of our carpets and upholstery after Raleigh Chem-Dry cleaned them. The carpet looked like new carpet. Plus the two employees were very nice and efficient.
Professional, courteous, efficient
I had a great experience with Raleigh Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning. Will was my technician and he was professional, courteous and efficiently cleaned our den carpet. We have cats and he was able to remove the stains and odors to my satisfaction. I will call again!
