And with our new ecological approach to cleaning with greatly reduced prespray (0) and our new dry water extraction, they stay that way.

At least the carpets are vacuumed and raked.  Our new cleaning method extracts at least 80% of all dirt.  Those dark areas you see now will disappear after a day or two, week at most.  50% discount for cash Thumbs Up

I can deodorize the entire carpet for only $25.  Quick, let me get the lysol out of your bathroom.LOL

I do believe that if the hype is correct, using a solution with encap for HWE should enhance the drying time.  Encap pulls chemicals and foreign objects away from the water thus shortening drying times.  Or so I have heard.  My only encounter with chemistry was in the 60s and involved pharmaceuticals.  Evil Smile

Well Rick, most of the time I am talking my customer's definition of dry. Dry enough to walk on in sock feet without feeling the moisture through their feet.

But my comment up above was referring to METER DRY carpet after cleaning it. No beep beep from the carpet after cleaning 5 minutes later. I expect I will need a name change after that to SuperDry Ken.

Not sure about all the hype on dry times. I do OP cleaning and sure they feel dry to touch in an hour but i've found they are not totally dry for two or three. I guess it depends on what DRY means ??
happy cleaning

This discussion is going to look kind of funny this time next year. Then it will be wether the carpet was dry in 5 minutes or 10. lol. And that is all I am going to say. You will just have to wait and see what I mean.
