“ HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY CARPETS TO DRY ?”
That can depend upon several factors. We try to get carpets dry to the touch before we leave. However, to enjoy the fastest dry times possible, we strongly recommend that you use the following guidelines:
SUMMERTIME
75-95 degrees
Whenever possible, use air conditioners to counteract those “Dog Days “ of summer. The carpets will dry much faster. When AC is not an option, create as much additional air movement as possible, i.e. open windows, use of fans.
SPRING & FALL
40-75 degrees
Use furnace to keep heat in the optimal drying temperature range of 68-72 degrees, or create as much additional air moment as possible, i.e. open windows, use of fans, ceiling fans. NOTE - Any time the furnace is in use, we recommend you open one window in the house at least one inch to release the humidity in the home that will occur after carpets have been cleaned. One window and one inch will be plenty ,as humidity doesn't rely on air flow, so let’s not waste energy.
WINTERTIME
0-45 degrees
Use your furnace to keep heat in the optimal drying temperature range of 68-72 degrees, and create as much additional air moment as possible, i.e. use of ceiling fans, etc. Again, we recommend that you open one window in the house at least one inch to release the humidity.
