When we have finished cleaning your carpets, we always set the carpet pile with a grooming rake. This removes all tool marks and footprints and helps to speed up the drying process. So yes, you can walk on it straight away, but we always say, try and stay off it as long as possible until it’s dry. Also if you have a slight bit of dirt on your shoes or slippers because the carpet is slightly damp, it will grab the dirt and it will stick to the carpet fibres. Also sometimes walking from a damp surface to a hard surface can cause an accident by slipping over, so please be aware of this.
