Local Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Expert Recognized for Outstanding Work Ethic and Customer Service Focus

COLORADO – Chem-Dry of Boulder, the carpet and upholstery cleaning service that uses the power of carbonation to efficiently clean thousands of households worldwide on a daily basis, has been honored as the 2025 Small Business Franchise of the Year at the brand’s annual convention.

Chem-Dry of Boulder was established over 25 years ago, and has been owned and operated by Ashley Vanleuven since 2019. Initially starting out as a Chem-Dry technician, Ashley developed an appreciation for the work and the difference it makes in people’s homes. After running a van for 6 years, Ashley was able to assume ownership of the Chem-Dry location he was working for and make it his own. Ashley was honored as the Small Business Franchise of the Year in recognition of his ongoing dedication to delivering superior service and customer satisfaction.

“This award means a lot to me, since it means that our commitment to a high level of service is being recognized on a national level,” said Ashley Vanleuven, owner of Chem-Dry of Boulder. “To me and my entire team, this award is more than just a title – it’s a reflection of the hard work we put in and our dedication to delivering outstanding service. As my incredible team and I continue providing exceptional service across our community, we look forward to maintaining the level of excellence and incredible customer service that earned us the award this year.”

“Ashley embodies the core values of the Chem-Dry brand due to his unwavering commitment to providing a deep, all-encompassing clean while prioritizing customer satisfaction,” said Ed Quinlan, President of Chem-Dry. “In addition to their stellar business performance, Ashley’s dedication to providing exceptional service has set their business apart. We’re delighted to see him win the Small Business Franchise of the Year award and look forward to seeing his continued success and growth as a top-performing franchise owner.”

Since its founding in 1977, Chem-Dry has built the largest and most trusted carpet cleaning brand in the country. 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.
