Just part of my ongoing research ;D

I know that a lot of factures will effect drying times, but, on average how long do carpets take to dry when cleaned with a fuel powered truckmount?

thanks

Chris

I can honesty say I don’t know, but if the customer is willing to pay me more to wait and to find out I will let you know, but that wont happen!

I do give an approx time, never had a complaint no mater what system I use, If I did washing line would be a good example, if any one doesn’t know what I mean have a word with the wife/partner they will put you state!

My poll how long a piece of string

Us olduns think the same Len, How long is a piece of string. A lot of factors need to be taken into consideration when drying and if we could get them as we wanted then maybe we could give a more precise answer.

Agree with Len never waited around long enough to find out, but the carpet feels a lot dryer than using a portable, whcih is why we use a truck mount
