We need some more details first Andy

What machine, carpet, fabric etc

But in general try glides on your wand, Drimaster or CFR tools and air movers

Works for me oh and dry strokes

Pre-vac thoroughly!

Try rubbing the carpets with a soggy rag, then you can mix with the half price splash 'n dash crew

There was no need for that last comment.

Drying carpet quickly isn't down to just one thing,

pre vacuuming will open the pile and take the lairs of dust away which would normally hold excess water if you were to pre spray first,

pre spraying will break up dirt before HWE therefore you don't have to lash water into the pile to break up the dirt.

Try a scrubbing machine after pre spraying but before HWE this will make your pre spray work better and quicker

Loads of dry wand strokes after cleaning will take plenty of excess water away.

Uses air movers or turbo driers, these dry the carpet better than any thing else.

Open a window in the room you are working in aswell as putting the heating on (both needed together)

Post buff carpet with woollen bonnet pads

Presumeably you've done the pre-inspection to identify wether it's a twist pile or not?

Er no... Not both at the same time. Windows closed in this cold weather, heating on, leave it till the windows JUST start to fog (then you know that the air is loaded with moisture), Then open the windows for five minutes AND REPEAT.

If you open the window an inch you don't ahve to bother running around like a nutter.
