A: the time for complete drying can vary depending on the material and type of carpet you have, as well as on the weather conditions and air ventilation in the room. On average, it will take about 3 hours for a carpet to completely dry after steam cleaning and water extraction. In well ventilated rooms and in dry and warm weather, it will be quicker. If you choose to opt for the Scotchgard protection, drying can take longer (about 4-5 hours). Upon request, you can order that our team of cleaners brings an air mover system which will dry your carpet very quickly after the deep cleaning.
