Drying

How Wet Should Carpet Be?

Over-wetting, wicking, browning, and long dry times. Moisture control is not a luxury — it is the difference between clean and damaged.

Fibre

The Carpet Is the Job

Wool, nylon, polyester, olefin — each fibre reacts differently to water, chemistry, and method. Matching the approach to the fibre is the job.

The SpeedyDry Approach

Getting carpet wet is easy.

Cleaning the textile — without leaving the cleaning behind — is the hard part.

Zero residue isn't about what we don't use. It's about what we don't leave behind. The carpet can look clean today. The real test is what happens next.
