Shampooing is a deep-cleaning process that uses specialized machines and solutions to remove dirt, stains, allergens, and odors from carpets or upholstery—unlike regular vacuuming, which only removes surface dust.

It depends on the size and fabric type. A standard room carpet may take 1–2 hours, and a chair takes about 15–30 minutes. Drying time is separate and usually 4–6 hours.

Typically, 4 to 6 hours in a well-ventilated area. We recommend avoiding heavy use until fully dry for best results.
