Our residential cleaning averages about 2 hours. Of course, it depends on the carpet area size needed to be cleaned. But, with SaniClean’s dry carpet cleaning process, there is no drying time needed. Unlike traditional “steam” or shampoo carpet cleaning methods, you would need to wait for your carpet to dry, which may take hours or even days (especially here in the damp state of Washington). Not with us. You can walk on your carpet once our cleaning technicians are done! It’s definitely less intrusive to your lifestyle.
