Reduce Carpet Drying Time and Give It the Perfect Finish
Getting your carpets professionally cleaned is essential for a fresh, healthy home. Nothing beats the look and smell of a freshly cleaned carpet—but here’s a tip: skip the little triangles!
While those neat triangles may satisfy your OCD or bring a small smile, grooming your carpet after cleaning has bigger benefits:
1. Shortens Drying Time
Grooming lifts and separates carpet fibers, encouraging airflow and helping your carpet dry faster.
2. Restores Appearance
Lifting the fibers eliminates matting, crushing, and marks left by cleaning tools or foot traffic, keeping your carpet looking brand new.
3. Extends Carpet Life
Proper grooming prevents high-traffic areas from getting worn out too quickly, extending your carpet’s lifespan.
Why Your Help Matters
Professional cleaners can’t stay while your carpet dries for 6–8 hours. That’s where you come in! Roughly 75–80% of dirt in carpets is nonsoluble, meaning water alone won’t remove it. Vacuuming before and after cleaning is key.
- Pre-cleaning vacuuming: Removes surface dirt and helps your cleaning solution work effectively.
- Post-cleaning vacuuming: After your carpet dries (cool to touch), vacuuming removes trapped dry soil released by grooming, giving your carpet a deep, clean finish.
Yes, you might miss the triangles—but watching the dirt vanish from your vacuum will be just as satisfying!
Once your carpet is cleaned, groomed, and vacuumed, sit back, relax, and enjoy your fresh, clean home.
Happy Cleaning!
