Cheapest way to dry carpet fast is to use the airpath type dryers in each room after you clean them, but that is not the best IMO. If you are looking for just 1 hr drying, then glidewands used with TMs or my Titan machines will get you there.

If you are looking for clean and dry in under 10 minutes per room, you will have to wait till my Power-Dri System is introduced nationally.

Have to agree with Ken on this.....but having used both, I opt for the Rotovac 360 for it's light weightness ( on REsidential) But RX-20 on trashed commercial.

The new double headed Rotovac 360 will probably give the Rx-20 a good run if it would work on low nap
carpet .IMO

RX20 is the more reliable of those two. Rotovac 360 is next best.

TM John. Here in Calgary most places can be reached by TM except high rise and office buildings.

To get the fast dry times however, the RX20 is used that uses positive pressure airflow to dry carpets rapidly.

I charge double for this service as compared to wand cleaning. $1/sq ft Vs .50/sq ft. About 6% go for this.

 

Funny, the other day you said under 10 minutes. How did you cut your drying time in half so quickly?Wacko



It actually only take 2 minutes to completly Dry a 10 ft X 15 ft room Paul. When I quote a 10 minute figure, I am including the time to both CLEAN and DRY it.

You may not charge extra, but I'm sure you must be charging a good amount to begin with for such a great total service.

I have always thought that was a great idea.
 
It's called Customer saftey & satisfaction.
 
In fact, when we used to do this with standard box fans, we had placed on the front (middle) of each and every fan, an absorbant cloth that we could saturate with a certain deo. scent.  The air-flow would thus distribute this "fresh" clean scent around and you know the rest of the story.
 
A very pleased customer!
