I just did one with dark edges that I took to be filtration.
Now I think that the tack strips were left wet by whoever was there before.

Ask @Derrick T. What one would haveto do to createv that long of a dry time..


I got a free Oreck for doing such a nice job...

 

[Hack Attack]

you do wonder how some manage to do that, I dropped off keys to property manager few weeks back (I'm not there preferred supplier) she made the comment I'd get my carpet cleaned more often but I hate having to move out for few days till it drys..

Plugged filters
Vac relief setting way off
Damaged lid gasket
Way too much prespray
Way too much emulsifier
Crappy wand
Too much pressure and or flow
No dry stroke
No wand skills

Did you have earbuds plugging your ears with music so you couldn't tell the sound difference of your suction?

 

[Hack Attack]

nah had real crappy wand back then with 1.5" whip didnt sound any different that I noticed, dump valve wasn't fully open either

 

[Mark Saiger]

I swear....

I wasn't there

 

[Cleanworks]

I had a call like that once. Lady calls me on a Sunday, had the carpets cleaned on Thursday. She asks me should the carpets still be wet? I tell her no and since I am in the area, I would like to stop by and have a look. I bring in my moisture tester thinking I will find a little dampness. Not necessary, the carpet was still wet to the touch. They also cleaned a pink velour sofa. I lifted the cushions up and they were moldy on the bottom. The companies name was Dynamite carpet cleaning. They blew that one up good.

Closed house no ventilation wouldn’t help either

In your dry environment how much water would you have to use to keep it wet that long?

 

[dealtimeman]

That would be my concern, how much water would you have to use to achieve that goal?

Especially in the desert?

My shower can have an 1/8 of standing water on the floor and it will be dry in 20 minutes
