I guess I take too many variables when tryimg to jusyiofy dryig times like. Carpet construction Fiber type Amount of soiling If the home has A/C Forced air heat. Time of year Just to mention a few.

Eliminate the variables. Secret Pre-Spray, Huge blower. Heavy soil crank the heat. Step it up.

Doug when I take calls from possible first time customers the MAJORITY of them ask how long will it take for my carpets to dry? They are concerned. So I give them what they want. Clean and Dry carpets. Greenie got me geeked on Dry times. Cleaner and Drier carpets= More Referals. Dont Hate.

Waldo; However it may sound I do agree with you on this subject. What do you consider a resonable dry time? I don't mean a 18 berber either

If you did 3 rooms. When you are wrapping the hoses up the first room should be dry.

Waldo: You can consistantly guarantee this? If you can I am certainly impressed with you. We have had the upstairs dry by the time we finished the lower level. But bedrooms are mot usually as soiled as the LR, DR Kitchen. anyway I am not looking for excuses. We usually say 4 to 6 hrs drying times. give or take. As I say I am conservative. The first rooms may be dry when we leave, but the rest still have to dry. The same holds threw when you leave the job it may be a couple or three hrs before everything is completely dry. It also depends on how much you cleaned in the home how fast the himidity goes down.

Freakin customers want everything, Clean, Dry, Staines Gone, Smell Nice, Stay Clean Forever, Cheap, A Gift. A Discount, A Calender, A Business card, A Guarantee...............and More...........ALL FOR 39.95 FOR 5 ROOMS.......AND REFUSES TO PAY THE TAX. THAT'S WHY I DO 95% COMMERCIAL, ALL THEY WANT IS SOMEONE TO BE THERE AND MAKE IT LOOK HALF CLEAN.LUS YOU ALSO ACT A SECURITY GUARD. NIGHTRIDER |

did a place today ----,LR,rec rm
did the LR first and by the time I finished the rec rm the LR was dry to the touch
