Established California Location of the Leading Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Franchise Acquires New Ownership

CALIFORNIA – Chem-Dry, the carpet and upholstery cleaning service that uses the power of carbonation to efficiently clean thousands of households worldwide on a daily basis, is undergoing a transfer in ownership of one of its California franchise locations: Chem-Dry Carpet Tech in Canoga Park. The carpet cleaning service is part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands.

The franchise location is owned and operated by Rodrigo Rivas Lainez. Before assuming ownership of Chem-Dry Carpet Tech, Rodrigo managed the franchise location’s operations, scheduling, and team coordination. Rodrigo will be assisted in daily operations by a small yet strong team, which includes several family members who have worked within the Chem-Dry network over the years. In his free time, Rodrigo stays active in his community by volunteering with student leadership organizations and participating in community service projects.

“As I began looking into potential business opportunities, I knew I wanted to choose a business with a trusted reputation that would allow me to create something meaningful from the ground up,” said Rodrigo Rivas Lainez, owner of Chem-Dry Carpet Tech. “This, combined with their innovative cleaning process and dedication to providing impeccable customer service, largely informed my decision to assume ownership of Chem-Dry Carpet Tech. I can’t wait to build a business that not only supports my future but also opens doors for others around me. As I continue to establish my business as a trusted carpet and upholstery cleaning partner, I look forward to growing a business that brings value to others, supports the community, and provides top-notch services with honesty, consistency, and genuine care.”

Whereas most carpet cleaning companies use steam cleaning techniques that drench customers’ carpets with buckets of soapy water, Chem-Dry harnesses the natural cleaning power of carbonation to deeply clean carpets without soapy detergents. This proprietary process, known as Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE), uses about 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning. This unique approach to carpet cleaning results in faster drying times.

Ed Quinlan, President of Chem-Dry, is committed to upholding the company’s unique standing within the carpet cleaning industry: “Chem-Dry exists within a highly competitive industry. And yet, Chem-Dry has become an industry leader that homeowners continue to rely on due to our innovative cleaning method and dedication to providing deep, long-lasting cleaning services. The entire Chem-Dry team can’t wait to see all the great work Rodrigo will accomplish within his community.”

Since its founding in 1977, Chem-Dry has grown to become one of the world’s most trusted names in carpet cleaning, with over 3,000 franchisees worldwide. Most carpet cleaning companies use steam cleaning, which relies on harsh chemicals and excessive amounts of water. Meanwhile, Chem-Dry uses an innovative process known as Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) to deeply clean carpets using a fraction of the water required for steam cleaning. What began decades ago as a simple process for removing spills eventually created the foundation for the company’s HCE process and changed the industry forever as an alternative to traditional steam cleaning.

Chem-Dry has the added advantage of being part of the BELFOR Franchise Group family of brands. BELFOR Franchise Group is the world’s largest residential and commercial services franchisor based on geographic footprint, and has over a decade of experience growing brands and helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses through industry-leading training, support and equipment, turnkey business models, and ongoing coaching and business development.
