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 Steam Cleaning?

  • Kills bacteria, germs, and dust mites

  • Lifts dirt from deep within carpet fibers

  • No sticky residue

  • Environmentally friendly

Why Restaurants Should Clean Carpets Regularly ?

  • Grease doesn’t just sit on the surface—it bonds with carpet fibers and traps odor-causing bacteria

  • Over time, this buildup causes discoloration, odor, and permanent damage

  • Standard steam cleaning doesn’t cut through heavy restaurant grime without specialized boosters

  • High-temp, low-moisture extraction paired with deep enzyme boosters is essential for real results

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.
