Chem-Dry's The Natural® Achieves EPA Safer Choice Certification
Chem-Dry®, a leading name in the carpet and upholstery cleaning industry, has announced a significant milestone for its flagship cleaning solution, The Natural®. This product has recently earned the esteemed EPA Safer Choice label, confirming that it adheres to the strict standards set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency for human health and environmental sustainability. This certification is a testament to Chem-Dry's commitment to offering cleaning solutions that prioritize both effectiveness and safety, especially in homes with children or pets.
President Ed Quinlan expressed the philosophy that underpins Chem-Dry’s operations: "Everything we do is built on the simple premise that safety and efficacy should always go hand in hand—that it's possible to have a robust carpet cleaning product that is also appropriate for use around kids and pets, to say nothing of being safer for the planet itself." This perspective highlights Chem-Dry's dedication not just to cleaning, but to creating environments that are healthier and safer for everyone.
The Natural® utilizes a unique formula that employs the power of carbonation to lift dirt and grime from deep within carpet fibers. Unlike traditional cleaning agents that can leave harmful residues and require extensive rinsing, The Natural® is free from harsh soaps and detergents, making for a cleaner and safer home. According to Quinlan, "Safer Choice-certified products meet high standards for ingredient safety while also achieving the EPA's stringent performance criteria—meaning they successfully clean without compromising on safety."
Beyond the Safer Choice certification, The Natural® has also secured additional industry recognitions, including ECOLOGO®, WoolSafe®, and CleanSeal®. Each of these designations further underscores its reliability as an effective cleaner that minimizes the risk of re-soiling and discoloration, along with confirming its reduced impact on the environment.
With over 1,000 franchises operating in over 25 countries, Chem-Dry has built a reputation for delivering not just cleaning services, but a commitment to improving indoor air quality and overall health. Their proprietary cleaning method known as Hot Carbonating Extraction sets them apart, providing a deeper clean while ensuring that surfaces dry faster, thus contributing to a healthier environment.
Chem-Dry’s business model is not only focused on consumer safety but also on promoting eco-friendly practices within the cleaning industry. As they proudly display the EPA Safer Choice label, they further solidify their role as a leader in the movement towards greener, healthier cleaning solutions. As part of the BELFOR Franchise Group, Chem-Dry connects consumers with a wide range of services, enhancing both residential and commercial spaces alike.
