What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may offer 'Additional Services' beyond the required services, subject to Chem Dry's approval. These additional services may require the franchisee to complete further training or purchase additional equipment and cleaning solutions. Chem Dry retains the right to modify the list of both Required Services and Approved Services at any time.
As of the effective date of the franchise agreement, examples of 'Additional Services' that a Chem Dry franchisee may offer include leather and vinyl cleaning, carpet repair, carpet spot dyeing, vinyl composite tile cleaning services, wood floor cleaning, applying anti-allergen and deodorizer, and dryer vent cleaning.
Chem Dry may, at its discretion, set conditions for offering and selling these 'Additional Services', including requiring franchisees to obtain certification through additional training or by purchasing more equipment and cleaning solutions. The termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement also terminates or expires the franchisee's right to offer these 'Additional Services'.
