jaymark1,

The new Dri-Eaz Studebaker 360 claims to dry a room in twelve minutes. I don't believe it but I have customers who are estatic about the short drying time it offers. I have a couple of customers who use it as a fast-dry marketing tool that works well for them to get the customer to say come and clean my carpets.

Remember: quick drying time is a major concern to most consumers. The whole world wants everything quick, easy and NOW. Even Starbucks are capitalizing on "Instant Coffee".

Just a little marketing tip from Kleen Kuip. Wink

I would think your dry times are about average.  We tell our customers 6 to 8 hours. A lot of our jobs are dry much faster, but there are too many factors that come into playthat stop us from promising faster dry times.   You will have some tell you they have carpets dry before they leave the site etc etc etc.

 
There are things you can do to speed up drying, different wand, glides, go to a larger vac hose, to name a few
 
Don't forget there is  a difference between a "feel dry" and being "dry"

Hey Guys,
 
Had a question, wanted to run it by you.  I am running a butler system with a 45 blower.  You may not believe me, but I follow the carpet cleaning IICRC handbook for cleaning to the T, meaning I do plenty of dry passes, and put fans down when there is time.  I ask they put the air or heat on as well. 
 
Even so, my dry times seem longer then normal.  My system is running perfect, plenty of suction, and my dump tank is always filled with about 75% of the water I spray down.  My dry time is from 6-8 hours, is that what everyone else gets.
 
I know alot of people promise customers "no more then 4 hours miss"  but I cant seem to get any better then 6.
 
Let me know
 
Jason
I dont predict the future or sell glides, am I allowed on this site?
