How long does it take for the carpet to dry after using Rug Doctor?

The drying time of your carpet after using Rug Doctor depends on various factors such as humidity, air circulation, carpet thickness, and weather conditions. Generally, carpets cleaned with Rug Doctor machines may take anywhere between 2 to 6 hours to dry thoroughly. To speed up the drying process, it is recommended to ensure proper air circulation by opening windows, using fans or turning on the HVAC system. If your carpet is particularly thick or heavily soiled, it may take a bit longer to dry. During the drying period, it is essential to avoid walking on the carpet to prevent any re-soiling or slips. Rug Doctor also offers a drying aid product, which can help minimize drying time should you require faster results. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and observe the carpet's condition before resuming regular use.
