On average, it will take approximately 20 minutes per room. This time can vary greatly depending on the amount of furniture to be moved; how dirty the carpet is and any necessary spot removal treatments..
Modern carpet technology is basically water resistant, and approximately 95% of the limited amount of water used in our cleaning process is removed by a continuous water recovery system.
The carpet may be walked on with clean feet or shoes immediately after cleaning; however, we recommend limiting activity on the carpet to this foot traffic until it is completely dry.
Drying time depends on humidity levels, airflow to the room(s) cleaned and the type of carpet. In general, turning on your air conditioning or heating system (depending on the time of year and your location) will help speed the process. While it typically takes between 2 and 24 hours for the carpet to dry, you can walk on it as soon as we are finished (just remember to remove street shoes first to avoid re-soiling).
The high tech cleaning method used by Green Clean will virtually rinse all cleaning agents out of the carpet so it will not attract dirt. Carpets left “UN-rinsed” results in soap or oily powder particles being left in the carpet, which attract dirt. This is what causes carpets to get dirtier faster. Companies that use soap to clean your carpet without completely rinsing it and companies which employ dry-cleaning methods are the most likely to cause this problem.
Our crews are professionally trained to move your furniture, and return it to its rightful place when cleaning is completed. We will move most furniture that can be safely moved. However, there are several items we will not move such as: pianos, electronics, china cabinets, waterbeds, large beds, dressers with mirrors, pool tables, etc. We do suggest you remove items off of your furniture like plants, lamps and knickknacks.
It is not necessary that you be home while your carpet is cleaned because our technicians are thoroughly trained professionals you can trust. In order to provide the best possible service, we do recommend that someone is home before we begin cleaning to discuss any specific needs or areas of concern regarding the care of your carpet.
