Yes, just be carefull of blowing fluff from behind radiators, soot from fires and pointing towards mantlepeices. Never lift whilst switched on.
This applies to all airmovers. Drieaz are the best make. They are designed to dry buildings so last a very long time. We have some 15 years old and still going strong in our hire fleet.

Is there a base or holder for the little dry pods so they can blow across for upholstery

I purchased one of these units use on every job, once I have finished a room put it on carry on with the rest comments are how dry it leaves the room all I can say is the other comments about fires, rads etc.

Cheers. Do you leave carpets nearly dry using this? Or how long do you tell customers it will take to dry after using it.

hmmm, I say that carpets should be nearly dry just after normal extraction cleaning with up to max 3 hrs of drying time, with room dryer shuld be already dry unless you do only one room or the last one will stay a bit wet.

Atmosperic conditions can have marked effect on drying times. In summer it is not uncommon to have over 80% relative humidity in the outside air. In this situation carpets will take much longer to dry, even days. This is because the air is nearly saturated and can't absorb anymore moisture. It is during these periods, normally stormy weather, that we get calls from customers saying their customer has contacted them saying the carpet smells. This is because it has remained damp for far longer than normal and mildews have grown in the base fibres. Once totally dry these mildews will die off and the smell dissapear. In this kind of clammy weather you can avoid these issues by adding something like Clensan or Microkill to your final rinse. That should prevent any mildew growth even if it does take a while to dry.
