It depends on factors such as materials, care of usage, number of occupants, kids, pets,traffic,etc. CarpetFirst! reccommends a professional cleaning every 6-12 months as we think that hygiene is the key to good health and should be a number one priority for everybody.

How long does the drying process last?

CarpetFirst! `s experince shows that the drying process normally takes between 4-8 hours, however in cases where extensive treatment is applied it might take longer.Factors as outdoor humidity and temperature should also be taken into account.

How long will it take to clean my carpet?

On average, it will take a CarpetFirst! team approximately 20 minutes per room. This time may, however, vary depending on the amount of furniture to be moved, how dirty the carpet is and any necessary spot removal treatments.

How long do I have to wait after cleaning to let my children or pets on the carpet?

CarpetFirst! reccommends you to limit the activity on the carpet to foot traffic until the carpet is completely dry, as wet or damp surfaces are more likely to get stained again.

Modern carpet technology is specially designed and is basically water resistant. The limited amount of water used in the cleaning process is 95% removed by the high powered machines CarpetFirst! teams use.
