How to Maintain Carpet After a Professional Cleaning
What to do in the first 24 hours after carpet cleaning, and simple habits that keep carpets cleaner longer.
The first 6 to 12 hours
Carpet is usually dry within 6 to 12 hours. Keep fans running, keep air moving, and limit foot traffic until it's dry. Wait to put furniture back until the carpet is fully dry.
Everyday habits
Vacuum regularly, blot spills right away, and use doormats at every entry.
Protect your warranty
Many carpet manufacturers recommend or require periodic professional cleaning to keep the warranty valid. Check your warranty terms and keep your cleaning receipts.
