How Long Does It Take Carpet To Dry After Carpet Cleaning?
Drying time is a very common question that we are asked on almost every call. On average I see dry times between 4 hours to 6 hours. Drying time depends on the soiling level, weather, indoor humidity, ceiling fans, water temperature, and foot traffic.
In my own home when I run the ceiling fans and the AC is set to 72 degrees I see about a 1-2 hour drying time. This has a lot to do with the soiling level in my home is minimal and the carpets are vacuumed at least once per week.
Heavily soiled carpet can take 6-8 hours just depending on how much water needs to be used to properly rinse the carpet. When we clean carpet we clean at 220 degrees. The temperature of the water is an important factor in the drying time of carpet. Other inferior cleaners with poor quality equipment clean at much lower temperatures which causes their dry times to be much longer.
When hiring a Carpet Cleaning Company it’s important to ask how long it will take the carpet to dry. It’s also important that your carpet is being cleaned through the use of real professional equipment. Always ask if the cleaner is using name brand equipment such as
- Sapphire Scientific
- Hydramaster
- Prochem
These brands produce top of the line equipment. A true professional will utilize one of these brands to clean your carpet.
