Chem-Dry is the Healthy Home Authority

A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS CONCERNING CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

For more than 40 years, Chem-Dry has been committed to providing our customers with a healthy home and workplace. As we all adjust our lives during the current flu season and Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, we want to share the steps we are taking to ensure that our services are being delivered in the healthiest manner to help you clean your home and protect your family.


STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY HOME

Clean & Disinfect High Touch Surfaces in Common Areas Daily

  • Think beyond just the countertops to include tables, chairs, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, desks, shared computers & tablets, sinks and toilets.
  • Use proper techniques & products. It takes more than simple wiping with a wet cloth. To be safe, use an EPA-registered household disinfectant and leave it on the surface for a few minutes before wiping away.
Regularly Wash Items That Can Go in the Laundry

  • Any item that can be safely laundered should be. In addition to clothing, include rugs, bedding, towels and pillows. Wash items in the warmest water settings according to manufacturers' instructions and dry thoroughly.

Daily cleaning of frequently-used surfaces can be effective at making your home healthier. A deep cleaning and hospital-grade sanitizer application by Chem-Dry helps make your home cleaner and healthier by eliminating germs, bacteria and viruses.

The Chem-Dry approach encompasses three key considerations:

Operator Safety Procedures

Our professional technicians are trained to take special precautions to ensure a healthier environment including wearing personal protective equipment (i.e., disposable gloves, shoe covers and masks when appropriate), regularly washing hands and minimizing physical interactions. Our technicians are friendly and caring – and your health is our primary concern.

Hospital-Grade Sanitizer

We are asking our technicians to offer to apply our hospital-grade sanitizer as an optional service for every customer. This important service can provide a healthier environment than cleaning alone. Our hospital-grade sanitizers are also proven to kill bacteria[1]. We have been offering a sanitizer service in homes for over 20 years and are experts at improving your home’s cleanliness and health.

Equipment Protocols

Our routine protocols include local operators completing a daily comprehensive cleaning of equipment. As an added precaution, we are also asking technicians to apply our hospital-grade sanitizer and wipe down equipment between each cleaning service to introduce clean equipment into the next home.

The Chem-Dry Difference
