IT WAS GONE.
THEN IT CAME BACK.
THAT CAN BE WICKING.
When carpet is saturated and takes a long time to dry, moisture can carry dissolved soil up through the fibre backing to the surface — where it re-deposits as the carpet dries.
MOISTURE
MOVES.
As water evaporates from the carpet surface, moisture from deeper in the pile and backing is drawn upward. If soil was dissolved but not fully extracted, it travels with that moisture.
How Wicking Works
CONTROL MATTERS.
SpeedyDry's low-moisture process reduces the risk of wicking by using controlled moisture — less water means less dissolved soil travelling upward through the fibre as the carpet dries.
The SpeedyDry Approach
Less moisture. Less wicking.
Controlled Moisture
Minimal water applied to the fibre
Soil Suspended
Chemistry lifts soil without deep saturation
Soil Recovered
Contamination is extracted, not left to wick
Rapid Drying
Carpet dries fast — less time for wicking
Stain Stays Gone
No moisture carrying soil back to the surface
