After I move my furniture out and clean the carpet, can you tell me how long it takes before the carpet is dry enough to move the furniture back and clean the rest of the carpet?

I really went over the carpet several time drawing out as much of the moisture as possible and then it took a couple of hours to dry to the touch. A trick I was told by a carpet manufacturer was not to use cleaner in the water, but to spray the cleaner on he carpet then clean with the clear hot water in the Bissell. This way you can apply moisture without adding more cleaner. I believe it let's you "rinse" and suck the cleaner & dirt better. Just my opinion and that of a manufacturer. Seems to work very well.Hope this helps.

If you went back and forth several times to suck up as much liquid as you can with the machine, I'd say an hour...this will also depend upon the depth and pile of your carpet. for Berbers, probably less, for deeper pile or shags, maybe more.

Well that really depends on a few factors. Temperature, humidity, how long and how much cleaning was done on that area. In Florida it takes about 2 hrs to be fairly dry. What you can do is cut small patches a few inches round of plastic and place under each leg then remove them when you are content with the dryness.

Hi Glynda; It really depends upon how many times you go over the carpet using just suction. I started by moving our couch and loveseat away from the walls, then vacuumed and cleaned. I followed the directions by holding the spray trigger down for one forward and one backward pass. After that I just used suction and went back and forth about 10 - 12 double passes (consisting of once forward and once backward). I was able to move my furniture back after about 3 hours. There are probably a few other variables that will affect your drying time. Some of those are: How thick your carpet pile is; how tall your fibers are; and the moisture level in the air. I know it's not a definitive answer, but I hope it helps.

I have a new washing machine that spins like crazy. So my rugs were just damp. They dried in 24 hours in Basement. Maybe a 2nd spin/evacuate water sequence could help you?

It will depend on how badly it is infested. As a suggestion: you can dust it with the Eaton powder and enclose the furniture in plastic like our grandparents used to do to keep their furniture clean. This should surely killed them off in a couple of months. Note I read that if you have carpet you need to steam clean them. I hope this helps.

I just sprayed it all over my carpet, couch, and the dogs bedding. If you have an indoor dog I suggest you put her/him behind a gate for half an hour until it dries. I bathed and blow dried my dog so by the time I was done doing that she was free to run all over the place again. Hope this helps.

The label on the bottle states "...will also work on old deep-set stains and odors." The label also cautions that it may be necessary to lift the carpeting to treat the carpet pad AND the flooring beneath the pad. In those cases expect to wait one-hour after treating before blotting any excess Nature's Miracle. As always, read and follow the label directions for the best results.

I put it on a folded towel and back in the cupboard when i'm done, i know it's dry the next morning. But my guess is a lot sooner than that, like an hour or so.

It has a function like a vaccum cleaner. Carpet is damp after. But it doesn't take long to dry.

sorry, I have only used it on furniture... it did dry very slowly on there though.

We have used the product on carpets, rugs, couches and chairs and were very happy with the results. The benefit of using this product is that the couch or chair is immediately available after the clean and there is no waiting time for anything to dry!! We still have some of the powder and use it regularly because it is so effective.

I had the same problem. I had a friend with a saw help me trim 3/4 inch from the bottom of the closet and main doors. It sounds like a big deal but really isn't. It only took about 20 min. Now I can put about any rug down in the future without ever having the problem again. All of the other doors in the house were trimmed when carpet was put down.

Hard to say. Have never measred it. A lot of how wet your carpet or apholestery gets depends on how fast the machine (or wand) is moving. If you pull the trigger and don't move the machine, you will get a sopping wet carpet quickly.

You need to follow instructions on the can as closely as possible. I usually do part of the house at the time and the cats and I stay in the other part. For instance I do the bedroom and we stay in the other part of the house. Then I do the other part and we stay in the bedroom or go outside for a while. My cats go outside some of the time anyway. The Vet told me the other day that I should spray and then leave the area for one hour. She said that applied to people animals and any other little creatures such as birds etc. The warnings on the can says to avoid breathing the fumes. It really does not take long for it to dry and I use it on the furniture and carpet.

It's always better to get to the stain while damp, but keep at it an additional time or two and it should hopefully work - i too have beige carpeting. I also find that it works miracles with animal mishaps on carpeting ... wonderful product!

I just cleaned my wood floor - about 450 sq. ft. The machine was set at 50% steam power. It took about 30 to 45 minutes to clean and the tank was still half full.

I just used it for a move-in to my new home and I just laid it down on the traffic areas. It is just like a runner. So if that is all you need to do, it will work well. And you will need to pick it up once your guests are gone. I think the longer you leave it on, the sticky stuff may end up on your carpet. But if it is picked up within a few hours, all is fine. Hope this helps.

It all depends on how big your rooms are and how often you use it which seems like a rather common sense answer. I have three carpeted rooms and I usually get thru them all before it slows down.

It took my floors less than 30 minutes to dry. I would think humidity might play a part if it takes longer.
