Drying time – carpet cleaning in Tahoe and Truckee

One of the most often asked questions I receive is: how long will it take before I can walk on the carpet?  The simple answer is - immediately.  There is nothing wrong with walking on freshly cleaned, damp carpet. But, when you track soil onto a damp fiber, it sticks to to the fiber, unlike a dry fiber where the soil sits on top of the fiber and is then easily vacuumed off. So if you walk on freshly cleaned and damp carpet just make sure to where clean socks, or we will be happy to provide shoe covers.

How long before the carpet is dry? Usually our carpets dry in 3-4 hours. There are several environmental factors, such as humidty and temperature that will effect drying time, but by taking the time to clean the carpets properly, with extra drying strokes with the wand, our carpets are usually dry to the touch in half a day, or less.
