Once all cleaning and rinsing are complete, a wet vacuum (with a carpet wand attachment) is used to extract as much water as possible from the rug. This process is repeated multiple times to remove 80-90% of the water content. Effective water extraction is crucial for reducing drying time, preventing mildew, and ensuring the rug's longevity. After extraction, the rug is left to air dry, ideally in a sunny environment, which is beneficial for natural drying.
