The moisture left in your carpet after your cleaning will not harm your carpet. Companies will try to scare you with mold and mildew growth but there are no risks in even heavily saturated carpets being dry in less then 48 hours. Our trained professionals know how to clean to keep dry time under 6 hours for normally soiled carpets. Overwetting can cause damage to backing and seams and will not happen with proper equipment and a trained professional.
