My Journey: Mastering the Perfect Time to Restore My Furniture After Carpet Cleaning
I never knew the art of carpet care until I faced the puzzle of furniture rearrangement timings myself.
To safely place furniture back, wait until carpets are fully dry, typically 6-10 hours; 24 hours ensures dryness. Humidity and ventilation affect drying. Test dryness before rearranging and use fans to speed up the process, avoiding damage.
