Carpet usually takes between 4–12 hours to dry. When we leave, your carpets will be slightly damp to the touch. Effects on drying time include: weather, relative humidity levels and type and condition of the carpet. On a wet or cold day, it will take longer to dry.

To decrease drying time, keep the temperature at a comfortable level, use a fan, and on a nice day opening up the house; leaving your house closed up will extend drying time.

Carpet shrinkage after cleaning is the result of poor equipment coupled with an untrained technician. When a carpet is overly wet and it takes several hours to dry (more than 24), shrinkage can occur..

You can walk on your carpet almost immediately after we leave as long as you are wearing some sort of clean house shoes.

Heavy foot traffic is suggested to be avoided until your carpets are dry. The bottom of your feet could be slick, so caution is needed when transitioning from damp carpet areas to any other surface.

For emergency spot removal and maintenance, a rental cleaner can be useful, however, it will not replace the deep clean provided from a truck-mounted system.

Hot water pressure and vacuum power provided from a truck-mounted system provides a deeper clean, sanitizing your carpet and killing the dust mites and bacteria. The equipment used is well-maintained and cared for by trained technicians with no risk of damage to carpet, over-wetting, or improper use of cleaning solutions that could result in resoiling issues.

We use professional equipment with powerful suction and professional products used in the right sequence to leave your carpets ph balanced so you won’t have these issues
