Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best carpet cleaning company near Charlotte, NC?
Five Star Chem Dry is a top-rated, experienced carpet cleaning company that has served Charlotte and the surrounding Mecklenburg, Gaston, and York SC counties for more than 16 years. Our IICRC-certified technicians use the Chem-Dry cleaning method, and the Chem-Dry brand has been ranked #1 in its category by Entrepreneur Magazine for 25 years running. Read more on our About Us page or see what neighbors say on our Reviews and Testimonials page.
What's the difference between Five Star Chem Dry and steam cleaning?
Chem-Dry uses Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE), which cleans with millions of carbonated bubbles instead of soaking your carpet in hot water. We use about 80% less water than steam cleaning, so Charlotte carpets dry in 1-2 hours instead of 1-2 days, with none of the lingering wet smell steam cleaning can leave behind in our humid Carolina climate. Learn more on our Carpet Cleaning page.
How long do carpets take to dry after professional cleaning?
Most carpets cleaned by Five Star Chem Dry are dry within 1-2 hours. During Charlotte’s humid summer months, drying can take slightly longer, but it’s still far faster than the 24+ hours typical with steam cleaning. Running your A/C or a ceiling fan helps speed things up, and you can usually walk on carpet in socks right after we leave.
Can professional carpet cleaning remove pet urine odor permanently?
Yes. Pet urine removal is one of our specialties. Our P.U.R.T.® Pet Urine Removal Treatment doesn’t just mask odors — it breaks down the urine crystals trapped deep in carpet fibers and the pad underneath, removing up to 99.9% of pet odors even in homes with multiple pets.
How do you get red clay stains out of carpet?
Red clay is one of the most common and stubborn stains in Charlotte homes. Don’t rub it — that pushes clay deeper into carpet fibers. Blot with a clean white towel and call a professional. Our Specialty Stain Removal treatments lift clay, mud, pollen, and other Carolina-specific stains without damaging carpet or leaving a ring.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
For most Charlotte homes, we recommend professional carpet cleaning every 6-12 months. Homes with pets, kids, or heavy foot traffic should aim for every 6 months, while light-use rooms can stretch to once a year. Regular carpet cleaning and area rug cleaning extends the life of your flooring and reduces non-living allergens like dust mite matter and pet dander.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Charlotte, NC?
Carpet cleaning costs depend on room size, carpet type, stain severity, and any added specialty treatments like pet urine removal or fabric protection. Every job gets a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees. Check our Coupons and Specials page for current pricing offers, or call (704) 704-2436 for a free estimate.

Not sure if we cover your neighborhood? Contact Us and we’ll check while you’re on the line.
Do I need to move furniture before the carpet cleaners arrive?
No. Our technicians move light furniture — chairs, ottomans, side tables, plant stands — at no extra charge. We ask that you handle anything fragile, breakable, or electronic. Larger items like beds, sofas, and entertainment centers are typically cleaned around, and we’ll confirm everything with you before we start.
Is Chem-Dry's carpet cleaning process safe for pets and kids?
Yes. Five Star Chem Dry cleans with The Natural®, an EPA Safer Choice-certified solution with no soaps, detergents, or surfactants, paired with Fresh-n-Free™, a WoolSafe-approved anti-allergen deodorizer. Together they clean carpets, upholstery, and area rugs using nature’s chemistry rather than harsh chemicals, so your home is fresh and safe for family and pets.
