If a small rug gets wet, the best way to deal with it is to remove the carpet from the floor and hang it up or spread it outside until the carpet is completely dry. However, if you have to deal with floor mats or the rug is too large to remove, you may need to try to dry it in place.
Steps
Quick dry wet carpet
- Continue doing this until the carpet is dry.
- You should still check underneath the carpet to make sure the carpet backing and floor are not soaked.
- Use a wet vacuum to suck until all the water is gone from the carpet. A wet vacuum cleaner will suck up all the water on the carpet but may not be able to suck the carpet backing if the water has seeped through the underside of the carpet or drenched it below the edge of the carpet.
- Pay attention to the water tank of the vacuum cleaner and remember to empty it before the water overflows. Depending on the amount of water on the carpet, you may need to refill the water tank several times.
- Aim the fans at the wet area until the water begins to dry.
- As a reminder, you need to check underneath the carpet to make sure the floor and carpeting are not soaked.
Dry the floor mats
- If you leave the furniture on the wet carpet, the furniture and the whole floor can be damaged.
- Rent a vacuum cleaner with a water suction function. Do not use a regular household vacuum cleaner, because this type of vacuum cleaner cannot absorb water. Use a vacuum cleaner until you can no longer suck.
- Instead of using a wet vacuum, you can rent a carpet cleaner with hot water. Ask carpet cleaning services if they rent machines. This type of machine can suck water out of the carpet, but you will have to test the water underneath.
- Walk on the carpet. If you hear a squeaking sound when walking on the carpet, there is definitely water still under the carpet.
- You can also raise the carpet by pulling away from the carpet stopper at one of the carpet corners. You can also peel the carpet up at one edge if the carpet has a short edge that is easy to reach and manipulate.
- Fold the corner or edge of the rug up so the rug pad can be seen.
- A dehumidifier when used in a closed room will quickly absorb water from the carpet and can be rented at machine rental services.
- Raise the corner of the carpet or the edge of the carpet and use a fan to blow air under the carpet into the carpet backing. Turn on the heater and open the window to let it dry quickly.
- Attach the suction hose (used for wet suction) to the suction head of the vacuum cleaner and place the straw under the carpet, the back of the carpet on the suction pipe. The hot air lifts the carpet, separates it from the mat, and speeds up the drying process.
- Make sure the service has a warranty and look for a company that guarantees to dry carpets, pads and floors if necessary.
- Ask your landlord or tenant about insurance. Depending on the cause of the carpet wetting, insurance may cover the cost of carpet cleaning.
Dry the carpet in the car
- Place the dehumidifier in the car until the water appears to be drained.
- You should also remember to use water rags in un-carpeted areas of the vehicle.
- Avoid cutting the carpet, as it will be difficult to reattach afterwards.
- Spread the towel on the carpet and step on it to let the water soak into the towel. Replace the wet towel with a new, dry, clean towel.
- Use a hair dryer to blow on wet towels. Continue doing this until the towel is completely dry.
- Discuss this with a professional before you replace the entire carpet, as it is a radical but important and thoughtful approach.
Advice
- It may be cheaper and better in the long run if you call in professional service right away. They know well how to handle wet carpet, especially in serious cases.
Warning
- Whether you peel the carpet or not, carpets and pads can shrink and seams come loose due to water. Professional service will know how to repair when necessary.
- If the carpet is wet from dirty water, you need to remove it as quickly as possible. Add more clean water to the wet carpet before sucking up the dirty water. Rent a carpet cleaner instead of just using a wet vacuum, and use a carpet cleaner before vacuuming up all the water. If you only vacuum the water, the dirt can stay and stain the carpet.
