Carpet cleaning drying times is perhaps the most frequently asked question in carpet cleaning. The answer to this question is based on the type of carpet, the environment, type of equipment and the experiance of the carpet cleaner. And a bit guesswork!!
Firstly, synthetic carpets dry quicker than wool carpets. The reason is that cleaning solution penetrates the wool fibres while with synthetic - basically plastic - carpets it sits on it. This allows the cleaning solution to be more fully extracted by the carpet cleaning process. What's left drys quicker also.
Now the environment. If carpets are cleaned on a dry, windy day and there's a flow of air through and over the carpets then they will dry very quickly. One common assumption with customers is that turning up the heating and keeping the windows closed helps. This isn't the case and can pro-long the drying process. The moisture needs to escape. Keeps windows open.
The equipment used is another factor. Modern Professional machines have more powerefull vacuums for extracting cleaning solution than rental machines and older machines. This leaves less solutioin in the carpet and enhances drying times. Excess moisture left in the carpet is also drawn to the surface. Again, quicker drying.
The final factor is the carpet cleaner. An experianced professional carpet cleaner knows the optimum amount of cleaning solutions to apply. Too much solution may penetrate the carpet backing and even the underlay. This leads to major problems with drying times and shrinkage.
The above covers some of the main factors which determines the drying times after carpet cleaning.
