Carpet Drying Tips |
|
| |
While
it
is
best
to
avoid
walking
on
damp
carpet,
it
is
OK
if
you:
- Wear
shoes
with
clean
rubber
soles.
(First,
scrub
the
soles
with
a
damp
clean
cloth).
- DO
NOT
walk
with
bare
feet.
The
oils
in
your
skin
can
transfer
to
the
moist
carpet
and
become
a
magnet
for
dirt.
- Vacuum
thoroughly
when
the
carpet
is
dry
-
to
bring
the
nap
up.
To
speed
up
drying
you
want
as
much
air
movement
as
possible
-
circulating
the
driest
air
possible
-
and
a
method
to
get
rid
of
the
moisture
being
added
to
the
air.

If the outside air is
dry: |
|
|
- Turn on ceiling fans and portable fans (air movement).
- Ventilate the house by opening a window in each room
(air movement and get rid of moist air).
- If you have an attic fan, turn it ON. (air movement and
get rid of moist air)
-
If your furnace or air conditioner has a
"Fan" setting, leave the Fan ON (air movement). Turn the Cool/Heat switch to
OFF (No sense wasting energy)
|
|
If it is raining
and/or the outside air is humid:
|
|
|
- Turn on ceiling fans and portable fans (air movement).
- In WARM WEATHER, set the Air Conditioning thermostat to
a lower temperature than normal. The A/C will take moisture out of the air.
Also, if your air conditioner has a "Fan" setting, leave the Fan ON (air
movement).
- IN COOL WEATHER, set the Furnace thermostat to a higher
temperature than normal. Heating the air increases its ability to absorb
moisture. Then, open several windows a few inches at the top and bottom to
allow the warm moist air to leave. Also, if your furnace has a "Fan" setting,
leave the Fan ON (air movement).
