DRYING ISN'T

WHAT HAPPENS

AFTER CLEANING.

Drying is part of cleaning. The amount of moisture used during cleaning directly determines how long the carpet takes to dry — and how much risk there is of wicking, browning, and other post-cleaning problems.

The Direct Answer

Carpet dry time after professional cleaning ranges from 30 minutes to 12+ hours depending on the method. Low-moisture cleaning typically dries in 30 to 90 minutes. Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) typically dries in 4 to 12 hours. The variables that affect dry time include the amount of water used, the fibre type, the carpet construction, the humidity, the airflow, and how thoroughly the solution was extracted.

WHAT AFFECTS

DRY TIME?

The Variables

The biggest factor is the amount of water used. More water means longer drying. Other factors: humidity (high humidity slows evaporation), airflow (moving air accelerates drying), fibre type (wool holds more moisture than synthetics), carpet density (tighter construction holds water longer), and extraction efficiency (how much water was recovered versus left behind). A good cleaner controls all of these variables — not just the cleaning itself.

MORE WATER

ISN'T THE GOAL.

Control Is the Goal

The idea that more water cleans better is a misconception. More water means longer drying, higher risk of carpet wicking after cleaning, and greater potential for over-wetting damage. The goal is controlled moisture — the amount the fibre and soil level need, no more — combined with thorough recovery. This delivers clean fibre with fast drying and minimal post-cleaning risk.

The SpeedyDry Approach

60 to 90 minutes. Walk on it today.

SpeedyDry targets 60 to 90 minute dry times using controlled moisture and thorough extraction. For most residential carpet, this means you can walk on the carpet the same day — often within an hour. The dry time is predictable because the moisture is controlled, not left to chance.
