Drying Time 

S100 Standards:

IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification)

 

When cleaning carpet, it is highly recommended that drying occur within

6 to 8 hours or less: however, drying time must not exceed 24 hours.

 

Drying time: 2 to 24 hrs: 

Is influenced by level of soiling, ventilation, fiber, humidity and weather. With normal temperature and humidity coupled with use of your HVAC system, the carpet should be completely dry in less than 24 hours.

 

Ventilation

Moderate temperature and humidity – during and after cleaning should expedite drying and
improve overall indoor air quality

 

Walking On Freshly Cleaned Carpet

It is best to stay off damp carpet a much as possible to avoid soil tracking and to allow the pile to dry in its up position.
If you must walk on damp carpet – it is best to remove your shoes (leave on your white socks) – shoe dye can transfer to carpet in some circumstances.

 

Disposable Blocks or Tabs

Under your furniture should be left in place for 48 to 72 hours

 

Vacuum

Due to fine soil particles rising to the tip of pile yarns- customer should vacuum carpet thoroughly with a high-efficiently filtration
vacuum - once carpet is completely dry.

 

 

Safety

Arrange for children and pets to be away from the home during the carpet cleaning process
