Why Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning?
When indoor humidity is above 60%, wet carpet can take 24–48 hours—or even longer—to fully dry, because high moisture in the air slows evaporation.
How this can affect your Carpet Cleaning experience:
When carpet takes 24–48 hours to dry, there’s a risk of mold or mildew starting to form, odors developing, and damage to the carpet or padding, since moisture that long can allow bacteria and allergens to thrive.
