How long does carpet cleaning take, and how long to dry?

This is one of the most frequent questions we get regarding carpet cleaning.

There is no one answer for all carpets. It depends on how soiled the carpet is, and what type of carpet is being cleaned.
For example, a frieze nylon will definitely take longer to dry than a olefin berber carpet will.
There are other factors, such as the humidity in the home, the weather, what type of cleaning process is being done, and more...


After cleaning, carpet typically takes between 6-12 hours to fully dry.
This time can be sped up by opening windows and turning fans on, or by using the main huse fan or air conditioner.
Also we can set up air movers while cleaning, so that carpet will dry much faster while we are cleaning.
By using air movers strategically, we can sometimes get carpets dry to the touch by the time we leave the home.


A truck mounted carpet cleaning machine has a vacuum blower
to create high vacuum suction to extract all the water.
We make sure all of our filters are clean before each job, so that
Our suction is at it's best. Clogged filters will result in poor suction,
And this will cause long dry times, and may do damage to carpet and padding.
Over wetting carpet can result in mold growth and can void the warranty of the carpet,
and will cost much more than hiring a professional carpet cleaner.
