Frequently Asked Questions

Is ChemDry's carbonated cleaning method better than steam?
ChemDry's carbonated method uses less water, which can mean faster dry times. However, for heavily soiled carpets or deep sanitizing needs, hot water extraction tends to be more thorough. Carpet Hero offers both methods, so Adam can match the approach to what your carpet actually needs.
Is ChemDry cheaper than Carpet Hero in Calgary?
Pricing at ChemDry varies by franchise. Some locations are competitive, others add fees for common extras. Carpet Hero's pricing starts at $129 for 3 bedrooms and Adam is transparent about what's included before the job starts.
Is ChemDry owner-operated in Calgary?
ChemDry locations in Calgary are franchise businesses. The franchise owner may or may not perform the cleaning personally. Carpet Hero is always Adam — owner and technician are the same person.
Does Carpet Hero offer a guarantee like ChemDry?
Yes. Carpet Hero backs every job with a money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the result, Adam returns to make it right.
Which is better for pet stain removal — Carpet Hero or ChemDry?
