How long would it take for a bucket of water that is spilled to dry? Couple of days or more?

You would be suprised Stevie in this currant climate 2 weeks would be nearer

I'm more interested in why you have asked the question. I'm sure you don't need anyone to tell you the multitude of factors which can affect drying times!

How long is a piece of string?

It amazes me when a professional carpet cleaner can go in someones home a clean their suite/carpet  and its still wet 5 days later not just damp but soaking, underlay even the concrete floor is wet.Been in business since 1988 and charged £25 for the privilege

[Nick Johnston]

Aaah, now it makes sense.

That's why we can charge a fair price for a premium product.

Today I received the attached card from a satisfied client. I have no qualms that I charged 76% more than another bloke quoted (splash, rootle through your thong drawer and dash ).

That looks like your Mums writing

I heard about a well established company in the STRATHCLYDE area whose oreators litterally threw buckets of water over a lounge carpet and extracted, with, what I guessed to be a Numatic machine.

The carpet was still wet over a week later and had shrunk all round, but the client never pursued them.

Unfortunately, it still goes on, usually by people who want in and out as quickly as possible.

There is no doubt, that soaking will give great cleaning results, but, if it's a fitted carpet, it simply can't be done

It's the best way to clean rugs, " total immersion "but only in a controlled environment, which includes, controlled drying over poles.

Think the Numatic was a bit bigger than your namesake George, but no extraction machine would cope with that scenario

Nick-how do you know she may have a thong draw? She may wear a pair of apple catchers! If so then she should be barred from my city centre and tagged
