According to the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, or [IICRC](https://iicrc.org/), the certifying body for professional carpet cleaners, carpet should take about six to eight hours to dry, and never longer than 24 hours to dry because, after that amount of time, microbial growth (like mold and mildew) can begin to grow. No one wants that! This is why you need a complete [carpet cleaning](https://bluegrasscleaning.com/carpet-cleaning-lexington-ky/ "carpet cleaning") system that guarantees your carpet is dry fast. How fast? It depends on the carpet type you have and also the weather conditions the day you have your carpet cleaned. Sad to say, some experience really long drying times when they have their carpet cleaned. Who knows why this happens, except that it never should happen! One thing is for sure, having your carpet cleaned should be a pleasant experience and after it is clean, you should be able to get back onto the carpet and back to a normal family routine quickly. Some companies don’t have the powerful cleaning machines necessary for doing the best work, and some don’t have the training they should. When you have your [carpet cleaned](https://bluegrasscleaning.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/home.md), or your [furniture](https://bluegrasscleaning.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/upholstery-cleaning-lexington-ky.md) or [hard floors](https://bluegrasscleaning.com/hardwood-floor-cleaning-restoration-lexington-ky/) like wood, granite, marble, and all the different surfaces you may have, you deserve complete satisfaction and the best cleaning you will ever see. Remember: Clean and dry – that’s the goal!
