Carpet Cleaning
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction technology deeply cleans carpets using 80% less water than steam methods. The carbonation process lifts embedded dirt while minimizing drying time to hours instead of days. Independent testing confirms 98% reduction in common allergens like pet dander and dust mites, creating healthier indoor environments without leaving behind dirt-attracting residue.
Pet Urine Removal
The patented P.U.R.T. system permanently destroys pet urine odors at the molecular level. Using UV light detection, we target affected areas in carpets, padding, and sub-flooring. The treatment continues working for 24-36 hours post-application, eliminating crystallized urine deposits that traditional cleaning cannot reach, preventing recurring pet accidents.
Area Rug Cleaning
Specialized cleaning for all rug types including delicate oriental and persian weaves. Our gentle yet effective process preserves fiber integrity while removing embedded allergens and dirt. The low-residue method maintains vibrant colors and extends rug lifespan, with protective treatments available to resist future staining in high-traffic areas.
Stain Removal
Advanced removal of stubborn stains including wine, blood, and permanent marker. Our technicians use specialized products that break down molecular bonds without damaging fibers. The process includes preventive stain protection application that creates defensive barriers around fabric fibers to repel future spills.
Upholstery Cleaning
Deep cleaning for all upholstered furniture using carbonation technology that removes 80% more dirt than conventional methods. The low-moisture process prevents shrinkage while eliminating allergens and pet dander. Protective treatments extend cleanliness between professional cleanings, maintaining fabric appearance and indoor air quality.

The owner and son were prompt; they assessed the area and moved a couple of things that I myself could not. They were hard-working and thorough completing the 10 year old "oatmeal" wall to wall carpeting in no time. Believe that I was ASTONISHED to see how well the carpet responded to their shared efforts! And to think, not 6 months ago, I was not only agitating for recarpeting the downstairs, I had visited a nearby rug gallery where I had done business before. Without any reservation, I would highly recommend them-- and BTW, they were so REASONABLE in price. truly.

South Shore Chem-Dry cleaned a rug, chairs, and ottoman for me. They all look AMAZING! Like brand new. The chairs are at least 15 years old and the rug had multiple soda, ice cream, dog stains. I couldn't be more happy. Excellent service, very prompt, the father and son team were a pleasure!

These folks are fabulous. I have had them clean area rugs multiple times over the years. I would not change to anyone else. They are great to schedule with. They have never cancelled or be a no show. They contact me on the day of service to update expected arrival. They discuss job with me, and establish agreed upon expectations. Professional. Timely. A pleasure to meet and speak to everyone on the team! Great, great value for their fee.

South Shore chem dry came and cleaned a loveseat and chair along with the pillows. Dave was very professional and friendly. Used care on my hardwood floors and the furniture came out beautiful and smelled great. No heavy chemical odor and furniture was not soaking wet. I highly recommend giving them a try. You wont be disappointed!

Huge thanks to Dave at Chem Dry for coming out to clean my velvet headboard and bed frame. Dave is the nicest guy, so friendly and arrived on time for both the estimate and job. He did such a great job. I will definitely be recommending him and using him again in the future. Prices are reasonable and the best customer service! Thanks Dave and Karen!

We are SO happy with the service we received from South Shore Chem-Dry. Dave is highly knowledgeable and took plenty of time to explain to me all of our options and the process he would be using. We have a white cotton couch that was quite dingy, the arms were filthy, it had a pet stain, a couple of mystery red stains - we even had gum stuck to one of the cushions. I never thought I would have my beautiful white couch back. But Dave worked miracles and got all of the stains out - even the gum! The price was very reasonable and even came in under what I was originally quoted. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

We have been using South Shore Chem Dry for many years, they are wonderful to work with! We have had pet stains, kid stains, mystery stains and David always goes above and beyond to make our home look and smell fantastic! There is no chemical smell, it simply smells a bit citrusy and clean. Everything dries quickly, and looks so much brighter. From the phone call to set up with Karen to wrapping up the visit this company and these people are thorough, kind and extremely professional!

Dave and his team are great! SouthShore Chem-Dry recently cleaned a large sectional and loveseat for us. I was so happy with the whole process; great communication prior to the cleaning, useful recommendations about caring for our furniture, and our upholstery has never looked better. I highly recommend! Fantastic customer service.

Dave was very friendly, informative and professional. He was able to come earlier than expected (which worked great for us) and communicated via call/text. Our wall-to-wall carpeting existed when we moved-in and it was looking dingy and didn't smell very fresh. Our dog also got ill on one of the rugs and we weren't able to clean it ourselves. Now, the rugs look brand new! All the stains from before we moved-in, as well as our dog's accident, are gone.

They smell fresh and they aren't soaking wet like I've experienced w/ other companies. I love that they use non-toxic products so I don't have to worry about my family breathing anything unhealthy. Thank you for a great service! Dave is also a dog lover so that always earns big points with us :-)

We've been using South Shore Chem-Dry for the past 5? years. Dave and Karen have always been courteous and friendly on the phone and in person. Dave is very professional when he arrives, no time wasted and the job is always beautifully done. Even tough really grimy spots that I wasn't sure about look great when he's done. Dave just finished our den and I will call him for the living room once the wood burning season is over.he promises me something special to get rid of the wood stove ash that settles in the furniture! I know I can trust him that it will work!

Working with Karen and Dave at South Shore Chem-Dry was a fantastic experience. Our recent new home purchase in Pembroke, MA, desperately needed carpets and carpeted stairs cleaned from dirt, odor and pet stains. From scheduling, to process explanation and the labor, Karen and Dave did not disappoint. Great customer service, fair pricing, some laughs along the way, and best of all, carpets that looked amazing when the job was complete. I definitely would recommend the team at South Shore Chem-Dry and would not hesitate to call them again.

I have been using South Shore Chem-Dry for 5 Years. We have extensive allergies and also have a Labrador Retriever. Throughout our home we have stair runners, wool carpeting, large area rugs and both low pile and "shag" wall to wall carpeting. Dave's attention to detail and his care in handling furniture is excellent. My home is clean and healthy because of the products used to maintain our carpeting. I would highly recommend to friends and family Karen and Dave Swart's South Shore Chem-Dry.

Dave and Karen are an absolute pleasure to do business with. My entire home, except the kitchen and baths, has wall-to-wall carpet. The carpeting is only a year old but in order to maintain the manufacturers warranty, the carpets need to be professionally cleaned once a year. Dave came out to do the estimate and answered all my questions. He gave me honest responses and at no point did a high pressure sales pitch.

He arrived to do the job on-time and kindly worked around my curious dog and skittish cat. Dave uses chemical-free cleaning products which was my number one requirement. I also had my sofa cleaned and it looked brand new after Dave finished it. I would highly recommend South Shore Chem-Dry and will look forward to having Dave back next year!
