Carpet Cleaning
The HCE Carpet Cleaning Process Is Proven to Remove Non-Living Allergens*
The team at Cape Fear Chem-Dry offers much more than just carpet stain removal. While we can remove stains, including pet urine stains, we can also serve a crucial role in helping improve your indoor air quality.
Your carpet acts as a big air filter. It traps non-living allergens* in the carpet fibers which keeps them from your air. But like all filters, if it’s not properly cleaned those non-living allergens* will be released. That’s where we come in.
With our Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process, we can deep clean your carpets. An independent lab found that our HCE process is capable of reducing the number of non-living allergens* in your carpet. This improves indoor air quality and delivers a healthier home.
Our innovative cleaning process also uses less water. In fact, we use about 80% less water than traditional steam carpet cleaners here in Wilmington. That means faster drying times and less risk of mold or mildew growth due to wet carpets.
Drier
The Cape Fear Chem-Dry carpet cleaning process uses 80% less water than typical steam cleaning, so carpets dry within hours, not days. This means you and your family can get back to enjoying your home sooner. See a full comparison of Chem-Dry vs steam cleaning to see all of the benefits of choosing Chem-Dry carpet cleaners.
Cleaner
Our primary carpet cleaning solution is carbonated and as it penetrates deep into your carpet’s fibers, it lifts the dirt from deep within your carpets so it can be whisked away with our powerful extraction equipment giving you the most thorough clean. And we don’t leave behind soapy detergents so your carpets will stay cleaner longer.
Healthier
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning services use a low-water method which means there is less risk of mold and mildew growth under your carpet that can result from the excessive water used by most steam carpet cleaners. We use a powerful cleaning solution, called The Natural, that does not contain any harsh soaps or harsh chemicals.

Fight Carpet Stains with Our Carpet Protectant Package
Carpets are designed to see a lot of action. Between dirt, spills, and everything else we track in, though, they will eventually wear down. Over time, the factory-applied stain-resistant becomes less effective and fades away, leaving your carpets susceptible to staining. Chem-Dry Protectant is a heavy duty compliment to our carpet cleaner that refreshes the performance of stain-resistant carpets, creating a barrier around the carpet fibers to resist soiling and staining by allowing spills to be removed before staining can occur.
- PowerGuard Protectant® – This revolutionary carpet stain protectant not only gives a boost to your carpet’s stain-resisting powers, but works well with solution-dyed carpets.
- Repel Protectant – Repel Protectant works with all kinds of carpets by forming a protective shield around each carpet fiber. This liquid-repelling carpet solution doesn’t give stains the chance to set in. It repels most stains, allowing a window of opportunity for you to soak up the spill on your own before it adheres to the carpet fiber.
- Wool Protectant – Chem-Dry’s Wool Protectant is a water-based solution specifically designed to enhance the stain-resistant qualities of wool carpets and rugs. It defends against most liquid spills to stop stains in their tracks.
Chem-Dry has become a trusted name in carpet cleaning for thousands of households, cleaning more than 10,000 households daily worldwide and more than 1 billion square feet of carpet every year, and for good reason. Our local carpet cleaners in Wilmington use a unique Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) cleaning process to deliver a deeper, longer-lasting carpet cleaning combined with a highly effective cleaning solution. This means you get a clean that is healthier for you, your family, and your home.

Don't just take our word for it
Very responsive, relatively quick availability. Another company said they don't do shag rugs over a certain length but Cape Fear Chem Dry used a different tool and got the job done! I would recommend!
I am amazed at the magic that Cape Fear Chem-Dry was able to accomplish! We were trying to get our carpets cleaned before the holidays. Scheduling with them was a breeze!
I will be the first to admit, our carpets were BAD. We have a senior dog who struggled with relieving himself in places that are not outside. The technician came in and showed me the spots (which show up using black light) in the most non-judgmental way while recommending an add-on for pet urine. I was mortified but knew that we would want those gone! He was quick and communicative and incredibly professional. Our carpets look incredible! And I think I had probably gone “nose blind” to our home because I feel like it smells way better too! My only regret is that I now can’t stand the sight of the dog perpetrator inside without a diaper 🤣
The high traffic areas on my carpets were definitely in need of a professional carpet cleaner. I also needed my couch and chair cleaned. I scheduled a cleaning with Cape Fear ChemDry. Derrick was on time, professional and polite. He came with his equipment and went right to work. When he left the clean carpets and upholstery looked so much brighter & clean and the rooms smelled great. If you are thinking of giving your carpets / upholstery a fresh clean give them a call!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just rent a carpet cleaning machine?
You can do this, but the better question is should you do that? And the answer kind of depends. DIY may save you some money up front, but if you don’t know what you’re doing then a simple cleaning may turn into a nightmare that requires the assistance of a general contractor to fix. Instead, you can spend a little bit more and hire a professional carpet cleaner like Cape Fear Chem-Dry.
Is there a good homemade carpet cleaning solution I can try?
There are a few carpet cleaning solution recipes you can find in places like Pinterest. Some of them may be helpful for some basic maintenance, but at the end of the day, they aren’t going to beat the professional-grade cleaning we provide.
Can you clean carpet and upholstery in my car?
While Cape Fear Chem-Dry specializes in residential and commercial carpet cleaning, we can help you out with professional carpet and upholstery cleaning for your car, boat, RV, and other vehicles. There may be some restrictions, but ultimately, we’re happy to help you out however and whenever we can.
