# Chem-Dry Opens New Franchise Location in South Carolina

**TL;DR:** Chem-Dry has opened a new franchise location in South Carolina, owned and operated by Zeeshan Fazli. The location will offer the brand's eco-friendly cleaning services, including the proprietary Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process, to home and property owners in Mecklenburg County, York County, and surrounding areas.

## Story

The franchise location opened last month, and is owned and operated by Zeeshan Fazli. Zeeshan has over 30 years of experience in the health club industry, and over a decade of experience as a VP for Sales and Marketing. Zeeshan will be assisted in daily operations by Alec Sears, a hard-working young man with an unwavering commitment to cleanliness. When he’s not cleaning carpets and upholstery, Zeeshan enjoys spending time with his wife and their three children, and is also a car enthusiast.

“While I enjoyed certain aspects of my past careers, I felt that now was the perfect time to go into business for myself,” said Zeeshan Fazli, owner of Five Star Chem-Dry. “As my team and I begin offering our top-notch services across Mecklenburg County, York County, and the surrounding areas, we look forward to building relationships with home and property owners while providing the brand’s eco-friendly cleaning services throughout our community.”

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. The entire Chem-Dry team can’t wait to see all the great work Zeeshan will accomplish within his community.”
