Top Tip – These machines can be hired very quickly and used straight away and then with some hairdryers you can get spills and stains out ready for the next guest. The only thing is make sure the carpet is completely dry as there is nothing worse than taking off your shoes and putting them on wet carpet. They can also be used on rugs but be careful near to the edges as tassels can be sucked in. Also it can be tempting to put in electric heaters to dry carpet but be very careful as you could have a fire and electric and water don’t mix if in doubt don’t risk it. To give you an estimate if you carpet clean a room it will probably take a good two days to get that carpet dry.
