It’s also a good idea to put a layer of newspaper beneath the vacuum.
Walking on the towels is more effective than just placing them on the carpet or using your hands to soak up liquid.. Once the towels are fully saturated, replace them with dry ones.Repeat this process until the towels aren’t picking up any more water..
Make sure the room is ventilated even after drying with towels, as it’s important for any remaining moisture to dry.. Increase Ventilation.The greater the airflow in the room, the faster a carpet will dry.To speed things up, open windows (if it’s not raining outside) and consider using fans to create extra airflow.. A regular house fan can help with airflow, but a higher volume fan is likely to be more effective.
You may need to use multiple fans for drying a large room.. For small sections of carpet, you can even use a hairdryer to speed up the process – but make sure to continuously move it around to avoid burning the carpet fibres.. Run a Dehumidifier.Water evaporates faster from carpets when the room has a lower humidity.
For this reason, running a dehumidifier in a room with a wet carpet can help it to dry faster.. A dehumidifier will also keep the air humidity lower, which reduces the chance of mould or mildew.
Make sure you regularly check the dehumidifier’s tank, as you’ll need to empty it regularly in a damp room..In this situation, needing to constantly take the cleaner on and off might make backpack vacs impractical.. We also don’t recommend backpack vacuums for domestic cleaning.
These units excel at cleaning big areas, but are unnecessary for homes.Wearing a backpack in a home could also risk bumping a mirror or ornament, causing it to break..
Consider Each Individual Cleaner’s Needs.It’s important to consider the health of a cleaner when choosing a vacuum.
