World's Largest Floor Cleaning Franchise to Expand Reach

NASHVILLE, TN, February 02, 2013 (Press-News.org) Chem-Dry, the world's largest floor cleaning franchise with 3,500 franchises in 35+ countries, is embarking on a global expansion. The company has identified several target markets including France, the Philippines, Turkey, Germany, Taiwan, India, Iceland, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

Chem-Dry uses all-natural, green-certified cleaning solutions and patented equipment to clean a wide array of floor surfaces such as rugs, carpet, stone and tile as well as other surfaces including upholstery and drapes, serving both the residential and commercial markets.

Chem-Dry is seeking master franchise partners to oversee franchise expansion in these countries.

Chem-Dry's service lines up with key consumer trends, offering a unique approach and a powerful business model:

Green, Eco-Friendly, Healthy: Chem-Dry's hot carbonating extraction method uses 80% less water than steam cleaning, so it's better for the environment. And its primary cleaning solution, The Natural , is green-certified and does not contain phosphates or detergents, making it safe and non-toxic for kids and pets. In contrast, steam cleaning uses soaps and detergents that can leave behind a residue that can trigger allergies and attract dirt, and the excessive water used in steam cleaning creates a breeding ground for mold and mildew.

A Trusted Brand: Chem-Dry has built a reputation as a trusted, respected brand due to outstanding products, such as its Pet Urine & Odor Removal (P.U.R.T.) treatment formulated not to merely mask scents but attack the chemical bonds that cause dried urine crystals to cling to surfaces, destroying the source of the stain and smell. Chem-Dry also uses a range of solutions to clean tile and stone floors, returning them to new condition; has achieved the highest customer satisfaction and customer repeat levels in the industry; and has been Entrepreneur Magazine's top-rated floor surface cleaning franchise for 25 years in a row.

Superior Technology, Training: Since 1977, Chem-Dry has been committed to R&D, which has enabled it to develop proprietary solutions and patented equipment that are the foundation of their franchisees' business.

To achieve our expansion, Chem-Dry also offers a conversion program for existing businesses that are interested in becoming part of a growing global brand. For more information, visit http://www.chemdryfranchise.com.
