How long would it take for a bucket of water that is spilled to dry? Couple of days or more?

You would be suprised Stevie in this currant climate 2 weeks would be nearer :o

I'm more interested in why you have asked the question. I'm sure you don't need anyone to tell you the multitude of factors which can affect drying times!
How long is a piece of string?

It amazes me when a professional carpet cleaner can go in someones home a clean their suite/carpet and its still wet 5 days later not just damp but soaking, underlay even the concrete floor is wet.Been in business since 1988 and charged £25 for the privilege >:(

Aaah, now it makes sense.
That's why we can charge a fair price for a premium product.
Today I received the attached card from a satisfied client. I have no qualms that I charged 76% more than another bloke quoted (splash, rootle through your thong drawer and dash ).

That looks like your Mums writing :)

I heard about a well established company in the STRATHCLYDE area whose oreators litterally threw buckets of water over a lounge carpet and extracted, with, what I guessed to be a Numatic machine.
The carpet was still wet over a week later and had shrunk all round, but the client never pursued them.

Just before i started c/c i was told one x c/c used to use watering can for carpets and then small numatic ??? and he was busy ???, price for sitting room 20ft by 15 ft - £10 good deal ;D

Unfortunately, it still goes on, usually by people who want in and out as quickly as possible.
There is no doubt, that soaking will give great cleaning results, but, if it's a fitted carpet, it simply can't be done
It's the best way to clean rugs, " total immersion "but only in a controlled environment, which includes, controlled drying over poles.
Think the Numatic was a bit bigger than your namesake George, but no extraction machine would cope with that scenario

Nick-how do you know she may have a thong draw? ??? She may wear a pair of apple catchers! ;D If so then she should be barred from my city centre and tagged ;)
