More FAQs- When will I be able to walk on the carpet after it has been cleaned?
- Are there instructions to follow after my hard-surface floors are cleaned?
- How long will it take to have my carpets cleaned at my business?
This depends on whether a low-moisture encapsulation or a deep clean of your carpet has been applied. However, a general rule of thumb is to allow a drying time of six to eight hours before you can walk on your carpet.
Before you walk on your floors, it’s best to allow a minimum drying time of at least 1 hour. We recommend allowing 24 hours before walking on it with heavy traffic. Be cautious and protect floors from getting wet for 24 hours after application of either finish as it is not thoroughly cured yet. You can return furniture to your floors (with suggested use of felt pads) after 12 hours and return rugs to floors after 12 hours.
The amount of time will be contingent on the size of the area that needs to be cleaned, the soil levels and the processes used, either low moisture, portable extraction, or truck-mount extraction. A trained ServiceMaster Clean carpet technician will then help you choose a program that best meets your needs and schedule.
