Chem-Dry of Sioux Falls did a fantastic job on my very dirty carpet - dog and grandbabies. 🙂 Brandon was prompt, courteous and clearly explained the process to me. The carpet was relatively dry when he finished-completely dry now. I loved that I didn't have to pull out fans and wait hours for the carpet to dry & humidity to dissipate which is typical when I used a water-based cleaning service. I will definitely use Chem-Dry in the future!
