If you must walk across the carpet to get to another part of the house, do it 30 minutes after cleaning it by removing your shoes and wearing a pair of clean white socks to protect the carpet. Professional cleaning services place waterproof protectors beneath the furniture legs so they can replace the furniture immediately after cleaning. Most services recommend leaving these protectors in place for 24 hours, after which the homeowner can remove them. Most of the tricks involve increasing the circulation of air in the room.
Try turning on the ceiling fan in the room with your carpet to help dry it out faster. High powered oscillating fans are especially useful.
Opening the windows is another way to get the air moving. But on hot, dry days, an open window can go a long way toward drying your carpets faster. It might seem obvious, but turning on a dehumidifier is one of the best ways to speed up the carpet drying process. They sap moisture from the room and collect it in a storage tank or direct it toward a drain.
While it might seem counterintuitive, turning on the air conditioner can actually speed up the drying process. The lower the humidity, the faster the carpet will dry. This is because dry air allows moisture to evaporate easier and facilitate the drying process. We recommend getting some fresh air inside to replace the accumulated humid air out of your home for more efficient carpet drying.
Temperature — The indoor temperature in your home can also affect how fast or slow the carpet dries. Ideally, the temperature should be around degrees Celsius so the moisture can evaporate quickly. It would be best to have your carpet steam cleaned when the weather is warm and sunny for faster drying times.
How to make your carpet dry faster Waiting for the carpet to dry can sometimes be inconvenient. Open your doors and windows — Ventilation is crucial when drying a carpet. For this reason, you want to keep your doors and windows open to allow fresh air to circulate.
Do this as soon as the professional carpet cleaners leave and leave them open for 2 hours or more. Having an air conditioner running helps even if it brings the temperature down. A lot of air conditioners have a dehumidifier function which takes moisture out of the air without affecting the temperature much. This works well but set the fan to full to keep the air moving as much as possible. With everything else being equal, some homes take longer than others to dry. This has come from many years of experience in clean carpets but have only been able to make guesses as to why this is the case.
It could be things like how the structure retains heat or it could just be its ventilation. I have noticed that some older homes with floorboards above dirt can take longer, possibly the dirt retains moisture which sits at floor level slowing the drying.
Well from all the information given above, there are a lot of factors but gennerally, we ask people to stay off carpet as much as possible for at least six hours and let people know that in winter, the carpet may take as much as 24 hours to dry. On a really hot summers day, the carpet is almost dry by the time we have our equipmet packed up.
