Typically drying time ranges from 6-24 hours. Depending on airflow, humidity levels, room temperature and if Scotchgard carpet protector is applied. Turning on your air conditioning or heating system on, depending on the time of year, can help accelerate the drying time. In some cases to speed up the drying process we will setup air movers in some areas while we clean up at the end of the job. Please feel free to consult with your cleaning technician on what options you have for the fastest possible drying time in your home.

If your carpet appears rippled and buckled after a clean, it is likely the carpet is not completely dry yet. When carpets are professionally cleaned, the fibers can stretch and form ripples, but these will disappear as the moisture evaporates. To aid the drying process, try using a fan to blow air over the carpet and help circulate it. This is usually an indication that the carpet was in need of a re-stretch prior to cleaning.

You may use the carpet sparingly after cleanig by wearing white socks or booties. Please wait 24 hours before removing foam blocks and plastic tabs that are put in place to protect the furniture and carpet. If permissible, please keep children, pets and off of the carpet as long as possible. Some carpets may still feel slightly damp for up to 8 hours depending on carpet and soiling conditions.

Filtration lines/soiling can be found along walls, under doors, beneath drapes, around the edge of registers or anywhere air flow is forced through the carpet. When air pressure and currents encounter a restriction, the air will pass through the carpet. The carpet acts as a filter trapping whatever small particulates, oils and other pollutants are in the air. Filtration soiling is most easily observed on white or light colored carpet but it can occur on any color or fiber. These very small particles stick tightly to the carpet fibers. They are difficult to remove. Even with the use of agitation or a scribbling machine.
