To further accelerate the drying process, position several fans (box fans, floor fans, or air movers) around the newly cleaned carpeted area. Direct the airflow across the wet carpet surface. Enhanced air circulation is critical to prevent moisture from lingering, which can lead to mildew growth or unpleasant odors. The faster the carpet dries, the sooner it can be walked on and the less chance of re-soiling. Keep fans running until the carpet is completely dry to the touch, which may take several hours depending on humidity levels and carpet thickness.
