Len,

Scroll down the page a little and you should see a picture of a rippled carpet. Does yours look like this - If so do not panic it will return to normal.

Is it possible that the other room was not wet as much or that you used less heat in that room.

Keep on smiling

Invariably, as others have already stated, the problem should disappear upon complete drying.

Occasionally there can be a problem though. The most common is with woven construction carpets, particularly wiltons. If the fitting is defective somewhere e.g under a radiator (quite common) then the carpet will shrink in one direction causing the carpet to ripple. Easily rectified after about a week, with a repair to the faulty fitting and a re-stretch.

Safe and happy cleaning:)
Ken
