In this blog entry, the professional New Jersey carpet cleaning team here at Aladdin Oriental Rug will detail the steps and procedure of our professional NJ carpet cleaning process.
How long does carpet cleaning take on average?
This depends on the size of the carpet and the level of carpet soiling, but pro carpet cleaning services usually spend between 20-90 minutes to clean an average sized room, and 30-60 minutes to clean a typical living room. This time can increase if there are heavy stains, lots of furniture, or deep soiling to clean multiple rooms or a whole house can take over a few hours.
Steam Cleaning VS. Dry Cleaning
Steam cleaning, aka hot water extraction, is the most common type of carpet cleaning method. This usually takes 20-60 minutes per room based on carpet thickness, stains, and room size. It is very thorough and requires extra passes for highly trafficked areas. Dry cleaning uses very little water and takes faster, as there’s no need to soak the carpet- but it doesn’t clean as deeply as steam cleaning.
How long does it take carpets to dry after cleaning?
This ranges based on carpet type, room ventilation, or cleaning method. After steam cleaning, drying takes between 6 and 24 hours. Humidity and airflow are crucial actors that can speed this process up – we recommend setting up a fan.
Does weather influence carpet drying times?
Yes, dry weather helps carpets drain faster, especially if you open windows. Cold weather, rainy weather, or humid weather can even triple drying time.
Can I use any special methods to speed up the carpet drying process after carpet cleaning?
Yes, use fans and open up windows to help boost air movement. Run a dehumidifier if there’s damp weather. We recommend staying off the carpet and removing furniture to help air reach more fibers of the carpet.
