My Carpet Drying Guide
When water damages a carpet, I know just what to do: I turn to a trusty carpet dryer. Here’s how it works and how I manage the process.
It works by drawing in air and then propelling it out through a nozzle at high velocity, creating continuous airflow over the carpet’s surface. The dry air sucks up water quickly, accelerating drying and encouraging water to evaporate until the carpet is dry. Carpet dryers feature adjustable settings to ensure efficient drying without damage.
