Podcast Episode Transcript:
typically we see with our low moisture process that the carpets are dry within an hour this is the Check a Pro radio show Check A Pro Joe has assembled a team of pre-qualified Home Service contractors to bring you the latest in Services products and techniques now here's your host the man with a hard hat and tool belt check a pro Joe many of us enjoy the comfort of carpet in our homes I have a fair amount of wall-to-wall carpeting in my home I actually just..
0:28
love it especially when I do things like
0:32
this in my home studio I actually love
0:34
to have carpet because it reduces the
0:36
echo so some people have carpet for a
0:38
warm cozy feeling some people have it
0:40
because they want it to be quiet in
0:43
their home but you've got to keep the
0:45
carpet cleaned on a regular basis one of
0:48
the biggest complaints that I've heard
0:51
about from homeowners is it takes too
0:53
long for that carpet to dry I have asked
0:57
an expert Eric Olson he's the owner of
1:00
safe and soft carpet cleaning in Boise
1:02
Idaho Eric how are you I'm great Joe how
1:05
are you fantastic I know you guys just
1:08
have great passion for what you do
1:10
you're a family owned and operated
1:11
carpet cleaning business in Boise Idaho
1:13
you're a co-owner of the company you and
1:16
your wife own the company yes this
1:18
question comes up all the time how long
1:20
will it take for my carpet to dry we as
1:22
homeowners are very impatient and we
1:24
have pets and we have children and we
1:26
want this to be done as quickly as
1:28
possible how long does it take for the
1:31
carpet to dry when you guys come into
1:32
the home and thoroughly clean the
1:34
carpets that is a great question but
1:36
that's a usually uh not the easiest to
1:39
answer because sometimes it varies it
1:41
depends depends on how dirty the carpet
1:43
is depends on what method we use to
1:45
clean the carpet but typically we see
1:48
with our little moisture process that
1:50
the carpets are dry within an hour a lot
1:53
of times when other people run into
1:55
other or use other carpet cleaners and
1:57
it takes you know four to eight
1:59
sometimes 24 hours 48 hours you know a
2:02
couple days it's because the the cleaner
2:05
has used the too high of a pressure and
2:07
they just have not recovered enough of
2:08
the water it's pushed it down into the
2:09
pad and their system is just not able to
2:11
recover all that water so a lot of times
2:15
as long as there's good air circulation
2:17
sometimes in basements it takes longer
2:19
but typically it's dry within an hour as
2:22
long as the temperatures are between 60
2:24
and 70 and there's good air circulation
2:26
what are the downsides to the carpet
2:28
taking longer than an hour to dry so
2:31
again another great question
2:33
um with that a lot of times it's mold
2:35
that would be an issue things that Wick
2:38
back up from underneath the carpet so a
2:41
lot of times if the carpet's left wet
2:43
for so long but as it dries the soils
2:46
underneath the carpet will sift up or
2:49
Wick back up through the carpet fibers a
2:51
lot of times the car looks dirtier than
2:53
it was when it was first cleaned and
2:56
again that's another problem with with
2:57
using too much pressure because you're a
3:00
lot of times they will push the soils
3:01
farther down into the carpet and as it
3:03
dries those soils will just Wick back up
3:05
so as long as you have the pressure
3:07
adjusted correctly and as long as you're
3:09
using a low moisture process where
3:11
you're not using as much water it's
3:13
going to dry a lot faster people notice
3:16
like that kind of musty smell when it
3:18
takes longer to dry again that's just
3:19
from the germs and bacteria in the
3:21
carpet we're growing in an environment
3:24
that that encourages that right when
3:26
you've just got too much water in there
3:28
as as well as all the other
3:30
stuff that just isn't always properly
3:33
cleaned out of the carpet you've got pet
3:34
Dand or pet accidents like pet urine all
3:37
sorts of you know spills and things like
3:39
that things that we just track in to the
3:41
home it's like when you get a an air
3:43
filter wet because your carpet really is
3:45
literally your biggest air filter in
3:48
your home it has a lot of benefits to it
3:51
but but that is one of the largest
3:52
benefits is it's your biggest air filter
3:54
in your home so like we change our HVAC
3:56
filter about every three months six
3:58
months or at least we should then we
4:01
also need to get the carpets clean uh
4:03
often enough in order to get that filter
4:06
working and so if you don't clean it out
4:08
properly and you kind of soak it down
4:09
it's just going to have kind of a gnarly
4:12
smell to it so in short you guys at safe
4:16
and soft carpet cleaning can get the
4:18
homeowners carpet cleaned well and dried
4:22
in about an hour I guess we can so again
4:25
it varies depending on the method that
4:27
we use if we're using a low moisture
4:29
method or if we're using a hot water
4:31
extraction which most people are
4:32
accustomed to typically ninety percent
4:35
of the time when we're using a low
4:36
moisture method it is dry within an hour
4:38
when we're using a hot water extraction
4:40
method it can go from two to three hours
4:43
we can accelerate that when we're using
4:46
turbofans and when the temperatures are
4:49
between 60 and 70 degrees thanks Eric I
4:52
really appreciate it thank you Joe
