Carpet Dryer Hire

Hire a Carpet Dryer and other tools to dry your rain and flood damaged carpets.
Not a fun job – but the sooner you start, the quicker you’ll have dry carpet.

What to do:
1. Use a wet vacuum to suck up as much of the water as possible. Removing water with a vacuum is much quicker than blowing air over the wet carpet to make the water evaporate.
2. Loosen the carpet edge so you can get air to blow underneath with a carpet dryer. Make sure the carpet doesn't flap to prevent it fraying.
Alternatively, you can blow air over the wet carpet but it'll take longer as the air can't move over the wet underlay.
3. You can use a carpet kicker once the carpet is dry to stretch the carpet back into place - but of course getting a close fit to the wall may not be possible for a novice.

Why doesn't the carpet dryer blow warm air?
Warm air would shrink the carpet - so you want "room temperature" air.
