I cleaned a carpet today and it seem to develop bumps in it.
I have not done many but I was careful to not over wet it.
It was well fitted at the edges??
Is this normal and will it just settle when it dries?
Cheers

was it a kitchen carpet
sometimes if its a flowtex it will bump
should be fine when dry

Won't always settle. If you want to retain your client then call back once it's dried to refit if needed. Did you drag heavy furniture across the carpet during the clean?

If the bumps are more than two inches high then you may be in trouble, if not it should settle down.

I think it will be ok for you.
I cleaned a conservatory carpet last week with my TM. Not much spray, but quite strong suction.
All seemed fine as I left with no concerns.
The owner called that night to say there were alot of "bubbles" that had appeared. I said that they will be gone by morning, so don't worry. What he didnt see was that I had my fingers crossed as I was saying it!
He called the next day to say that it had all settled down. Cleaning three bedrooms for him next week. So I believe it will be ok ;)

99.9% of the time these HUMPS will settle on their own. Normally kitchen carpets that do it but other carpets once in a blue moon do it. Call the customer and tell/him that you will call back 24/48hrs later to see if all is ok. If they dont disappear a simple re-fit should be all that is required.

The worst ones I've found are latex backed. Scary first time it happens and always mension it now to clients before I start that there is a slim possibility.
