Can I Walk on Carpet Immediately After It Is Cleaned?

It is generally best to minimize traffic until cleaned carpet has dried. Follow the technician's instructions for your specific carpet and cleaning process, particularly before replacing furniture or allowing normal household traffic.

Why wait?

Damp fibers pick up soil easily, and wet carpet can be slippery on transitions to hard floors.

If you must cross the room

Wear clean socks or shoe covers and walk carefully, especially near tile or wood.

Pets and children

Keep them off until the carpet dries.

Furniture

Wait to replace furniture until the carpet is dry.

Improving airflow

Fans, air conditioning and open doors help carpet dry sooner.
