Who uses them to dry carpets on every job?

I use them on all my jobs I find that even 10 mins blast will considerably aid drying.

Only ever use mine to dry fabric sofas.

Depends on how big the rooms are and what's in them.
Some small rooms it's impractical.
Don't you find they blow a lot of dust around a lot of the
time?
I have the Ashby one which is pretty powerful just on
setting one.

With the multiwash, the kirby, and the sebo I don't have room to carry one all the time. If I have upholstery to do I'll put the drier up front with me but I don't like the fact its so big and moves around too much.

[Paul H]

yes .. carried and used on both carpets and sofas..

[Len Gribble]

Don’t need to uses them on site I’ve got the wander wands and cfr hand tools.

Only use them on rug at my plant

[derek west]

i carry one with me all the time in case my hair gets wet

Nearlly always have the snail dryer on the van, like you Shaun i find even 10 mins can make a hell of a differance.

Ive got a whole room dryer that sits in my spare room but im sure it will come in handy one day, probably the day after I sell it 

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I think drying is part of the clean it's all part of convenience for the customer.

Open gas fires are very popular in my area and I have been caught out a couple of times with soot blowing onto the freshly cleaned carpet.

I sold mine to a numpty in Sunderland

I carry two DriEaz Ace dryers (the axial ones).  They're really powerful, not quite the thump of a snail type but that's good because they don't blow pictures off walls!  They spread theair out well and are great for both carpets and suites.

Just like you Shaun I will use them on almost every job and find even a 10 minute blast makes the world of difference.

I think a lot of people consider an airmover to be a faff and adds time to the job, but it doesn't have to be at all, you just need to adapt it in to your routine.  When doing carpets I take the airmover to the first room and stick it on the first bit of clean carpet... then for the rest of the job it just gets shifted a couple of times as I go round.

At the end of the job, by the time everything's packed up and you switch the airmovers off you've got a big chunk of the carpets touch dry.

I try and use the turbo dryer too on most of my jobs..Prob just a habbit and also its part of the service i use..

Always use them on fabrics too..

[mike roberts]

slightly amazed by some of the comments 

Carpet cleaning is only part of our business.... But when we carry out cc always carry turbo, always dry carpets which lead onto hard floors to help prevent customers from slipping - part of the job ?!

This is especially important in some of our ederly customers homes or its an accident waiting to happen.

We still / also point out risk to customers from slipping.. as has been posted simply position turbo for best effect once rooms have been cleaned.

[Colin Day]

I'm amazed at how many people say "Oh, the last Carpet cleaner didn't have one of those [Snail]"

I will leave it at customers houses when I've cleaned a suite too with full instructions (ie, don't point it directly at a coal fire)

Sit a piece of MDF on it and you've got an easily moveable coffee table, just like I've had in my garage for a while now. 

[Paul Moss]

Mine are just used for fire and flood restoration.

Good  skills and wanding/handtool practices sort out the drying times for my carpet and upholstery cleaning

I have that t-shirt. Its a little sooty though.
