  • be sure you have windows open or you’ve turned on your heat (furnace) or air conditioner
  • do not move any furniture back onto the carpet until it is completely dry
  • put a small piece of plastic under furniture feet on chairs, tables couches etc if the furniture has any metal under the feet. If the metal gets wet, it can rust and leave a rust spot on the carpet.

  • after the carpet is completely dry, vacuum.
