History of the Chem-Dry Brand
Robert Harris started working through law school in the 1970s as a carpet cleaner for a different carpet cleaning company. He quickly became unsatisfied with the performance of available cleaning products and began researching a better solution. Harris’s research stretched into many years of studying the chemical properties and reactions of various cleaning formulas combined with experimentation that required him to continually clean carpets with a succession of cleaning formulations. The process was similar to how Edison tried a hundred times to build the perfect light bulb before he succeeded.
Eventually, Robert Harris discovered the ideal cleaning formula. Harris founded Chem-Dry, and the demand for his superior cleaning services grew exponentially. His entrepreneurial journey blossomed into a thriving success that has continued to grow since those first days in the early ’70s. From the first small group of franchise locations, the original Chem-Dry network has expanded over recent decades to offer thousands of successful franchises worldwide, including Chem-Dry of Jacksonville, based in Jacksonville, FL.
