Typically 4 to 6 hours to be on the safe side, but many times the carpet will be dry before that timeframe. Drying times can vary depending on many conditions. The key to getting dampness out of your carpet is airflow and de-humidification.
We recommend that you do the following two things to enhance your drying time:

1. Set your room temperature to 72 degrees on your HVAC unit. The goal is to have the compressor running In the summertime or the heater running in the winter time. Both provide good dry air to optimize drying time.
2. Turn all ceiling fans on high speed.

We want our technicians to be great cleaners rather than great movers, so we keep them away from moving large bulky items such as large formal dining room tables, china hutches, any type of electronics including entertainment centers, and in the bedroom we leave beds and dressers in place.

Our thoughts are to use common sense regarding your furniture. For example, we would not move (nor would you want us to move) a baby grand piano.

Our technicians would be happy to move items such as sofas, loveseats, tables, and chairs If you would like.

Please pick up any toys and decorative items that are on the carpet… we will take it from there.

Steam cleaning.

No! In fact, 95% of all carpet manufacturers require that you get your carpet steam cleaned once a year by an IICRC certified carpet cleaner In order to keep the warranty on the carpet.
