One of the most common complaints we hear from customers when cleaning carpets is that other service providers did not dry their carpet thoroughly. Some even say that other carpet cleaning companies left their carpets “soggy,” which is unfathomable in our minds. Properly drying carpets is one of the most important aspects of any professional carpet cleaning companies. Not only can it be annoying to have wet carpet for hours on end, but in certain environments it can pose a safety risk.

When hiring Selway Cleaning to clean your carpet, you can expect your carpet to be dry within a few hours, typically 2-4 hours, if not faster. In fact, since we use fans to expedite the drying process, some areas are often completely dry by the time we finish the job. On all of our carpet cleaning jobs we will use at least one Dri-Pod fan to held dry our customers’ carpets. If it’s a larger job, especially a commercial carpet job, we will often bring additional fans, including larger air movers that will dry areas in a hurry.

Of course, drying times will always depends on the type of job and the style of carpet. Certain jobs will take longer than others. There are other factors to consider, such as ventilation and temperature. But for most cases, you can count on your carpet being dry within just a few hours after being professionally cleaned, if it’s done right. If it’s a high traffic area that we needed to go over multiple times, there is a chance it stays wet a little longer, but we guarantee that within just a few hours you won’t be able to feel any moisture.

Aside from our own fans and vacuum, you can help accelerate the dry time by opening windows to create air flow and/or turning on all available overhead fans. To schedule a carpet cleaning appointment with us, call 330-427-0505. We can give you a free quote ahead of the job. More coming soon.
