Hi folks its getting to that time of year were temperatures are dropping and it gets harder to dry everything. I clean rugs/mats in my garage but need a machine to rise the temperature. What macine is best to heat dry? I dont mean air movers i need something to combine with air movers to raise the temperature.

[Ken Leeder]

Still looking for the best option in these circumstances as cost of electric vs price to clean rugs does not balance. Winter and rug cleaning is a challenge. In past have relied on fan heater set to low and longer drying times. Probably do the same this winter.

I have been hanging the rugs over a 6" diameter plastic tube that is held up by a rope that is between two metal loops on opposite walls.  I use one of those opposing thread type things to tighten it up.

Then a drieaz 1200 dehumidifier running with the water pipe out onto the drive.  In a confined space it raises the temperature by a useful amount and I've found it quite effective for drying.

I don't bother with an airmover due to the amount of dust/spiders/assorted crap it throws into the air.

Make a small drying room out of plastic sheets / tarp and as mentioned put a dehum in there, it's the cheapest option & the rug will be dry in the morning,

Carbon filters used to remove incriminating odours,although a mate of mine left his a bit too long before refilling and his neighbour dobbed him in,all the cops did was take his 10 or so plants and left everything else,lol
