Warning
Please use caution: all surfaces (carpets, rugs, floors, tiles etc.) are slippery when wet. Be especially careful when walking from damp, carpeted areas on to non-carpeted areas to avoid slipping.
The drying process of carpets, rugs and upholstery is a very important part of the cleaning process. Please note, you need to ensure the surface is dry to avoid the appearance of mold, bad smell and other consequences. The drying process for carpet and area rugs is around 10-20 hours, for upholstery is around 5-10 hours with open windows or with heater/fan air turned on in your house.
We do not recommend covering a wet carpet, rug or upholstery with anything. Please do not put any kinds of metal surfaces on a wet carpet (chairs, tables with a metal base etc.) Some wooden furniture can also leave color stains on a wet carpet.
