Why Chem-Dry is different from steam cleaning
Chem-Dry uses a carbonated cleaning solution and up to 80% less water than typical steam cleaning, so the clean goes deeper and carpets typically dry in 1–4 hours instead of one to two days. That suits Port Macquarie’s humid coastal weather. Call 0468 250 110.

The five Chem-Dry strengths
What sets Chem-Dry apart, in plain language.
-
Healthier Deeper Clean
Cleaner through the pile, not just on top
Hot Carbonating Extraction lifts dirt, dust and allergens out of the carpet fibre instead of pushing them around. Port Macquarie homes collect beach sand, salty air and the odd muddy paw, and that grit settles deep in the weave.
-
Fast Drying Times
Dry in hours, not days
Chem-Dry uses up to 80% less water than typical steam cleaning, and carpets are typically dry in 1–4 hours. On the Mid North Coast, where afternoon humidity averages over 60%, less water in means less waiting.
-
Eco Certifications
Safer-choice cleaning for lived-in homes
Chem-Dry’s main cleaner, The Natural®, has no soaps, detergents or fragrances, and carries EPA Safer Choice and ECOLOGO certifications. In plain words: independent groups have checked it, and it is made for homes with kids and pets.
-
40 Years of Trust
A brand Australians have used for 40 years
Chem-Dry has been cleaning Australian homes since 1986. Chem-Dry Port Macquarie is a locally owned and operated family business, so you get that tested system from Andy, who lives locally and drives the van every day.

P.U.R.T.® – Pets
Pet urine treated at the source
P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) goes after the urine crystals that make a smell come back on warm, humid days, instead of just covering it up. Handy in a town where so many dogs love the beach.
Certified, and proven in the market

Common questions
How is Chem-Dry different from steam cleaning?
Chem-Dry uses Hot Carbonating Extraction, which uses up to 80% less water than typical steam cleaning. A carbonated solution lifts soil out of the fibre, so carpets dry in hours rather than days and there is no soapy residue left behind to attract dirt.
How long does carpet take to dry in Port Macquarie humidity?
Chem-Dry carpets typically dry in 1–4 hours, compared with one to two days after typical steam cleaning. Port Macquarie’s afternoon humidity averages around 61% (higher in summer), so thick pile and still days can add time. Open windows and run fans or air conditioning to help.
Is Chem-Dry safe for kids and pets?
Chem-Dry is made for lived-in homes. Its main cleaner, The Natural®, has no soaps, detergents or fragrances, and carries EPA Safer Choice and ECOLOGO certifications. Far less water also means less leftover moisture. If someone has allergies or asthma, mention it when you call.
Can you get rid of pet urine smells in Port Macquarie homes?
Often, yes. The smell usually returns because urine crystals stay in the carpet backing and underlay, and humid weather wakes them up. P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) is Chem-Dry’s treatment for that. Call 0468 250 110 and tell us how many spots there are.
