Snail fans are specifically designed to either dry carpets or walls. They shoot a sheet of fast moving air across flat surfaces. To dry upholstery you would be better off using an axial fan such as this: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/High-Velocity-12-inch-Cradle-Fan/3270935/product.html?cid=133635

Thats the type I use, got it from Machine Mart. Cheap as chips. Can buy 2 for less then £90, and in my Cit Relay I put it in the passenger foot well, fit 2 there in fact.
As said previously, I dont use a dryer on the carpets much, but when I do it has to be this cause thats all I have.

Bought mine for £50 2nd hand, if I had to buy snail driers I'd get the Ashbys 1.5hp ones.

Pick the carpet up and hold it against a mirror...  

Common sense and confidence in your carpet identification / prespray / psi and wand technique then rub with back of hand or walk with shoes off should be sufficient - if not you could always buy a damp meter and compile a wet to dry chart so you know how wet/dry you are really leavin it...

no complaints as yet - even when I was using my single vac CFR!

Bet your carpets are drier than mine tho Shaun what with a 47!! blower and far more experience an litttle ol me

I like to leave them wet so they know that they've been cleaned tell them to open the windows, put the heating on and try to forget the smell as it will soon go.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Paul that machine mart drier look the same but has less than half the air flow so it won't be loud enough and blow the customers £'s around the room.
