Short Answer
Drying time varies from one home to another. Carpet thickness, indoor humidity, airflow, temperature, how heavily an area needed to be cleaned and the amount of moisture used can all affect how quickly the carpet dries.
What You Should Know
Airflow helps
Ceiling fans, HVAC circulation and safe use of portable fans can help move air across the carpet.
Humidity changes drying speed
Carpet generally dries more slowly when the indoor environment is humid.
Heavily treated areas may take longer
Spots that require extra rinsing or pet treatment can retain moisture longer than lightly cleaned areas.
Avoid unnecessary traffic while damp
Keeping foot traffic low while the carpet is drying helps protect freshly cleaned areas.
Ask your technician about your home
The technician can give a better estimate after seeing the carpet, room conditions and treatment performed.
