Big, open of areas of carpet can easily be dry within 30 minutes using our low moisture system but smaller areas will take longer. As a guide, an empty domestic lounge dining room should be dry in 30 minutes. If there is minimal furniture (3 piece and dining table) the drying time may be extended to an hour or two. If ‘steam’ cleaning is used, drying times are extended and will take up to 24 hours to dry fully.
