Drying Times & The Importance Of Airflow
After a professional steam cleaning, most commercial carpets typically dry within:
2–6 hours in well-ventilated spaces
6–12+ hours in high-pile or poorly ventilated areas
Airflow is the #1 factor in how quickly carpets dry—not heat. Proper ventilation and circulation help moisture evaporate faster, preventing odors, mold risk, and re-soiling.
Best Drying Tips For Commercial Spaces
Run HVAC fans or ceiling fans
Open exterior doors or windows if possible
Use air movers or box fans to increase circulation

Why It Matters
Quick drying = less downtime, better air quality, and a safer walking surface for staff and customers. Slow drying can trap moisture deep in the carpet pad, creating odor and mildew issues.
