HOW LONG
TO DRY?
The Direct Answer
How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning? With SpeedyDry’s controlled-moisture process: 60-90 minutes under favourable conditions. With steam cleaning (hot water extraction): 4-24 hours. The difference is the amount of moisture applied.
60-90
MINUTES.
What Affects Drying Time
Fibre: wool holds more moisture and takes longer. Construction: dense pile takes longer than low pile. Moisture: less applied means faster drying. Humidity: high humidity slows evaporation. Ventilation: airflow speeds drying. Temperature: warm air holds more moisture. Method: low-moisture dries faster.
Honest Answer
CONDITIONS
We target 60-90 minutes under favourable conditions. We do not guarantee a universal drying time because fibre, humidity, and ventilation vary. We provide drying guidance for your specific carpet.
