Drying – Impact on the Material

Fungi and Microorganisms

The specification of materials varies, with some materials absorbing water very easily. Without proper drying equipment, such materials can take over 20 hours to dry. During this time, microorganisms that thrive in moisture can develop in the upholstery, which may be the direct cause of unpleasant odors. Leaving slightly damp material without drying after washing hasn't caused harm to anyone, but it's always better to dry it properly.

Is Drying Important?

Yes, drying always has a positive effect. Upholstered materials don’t like to stay damp for too long. Proper drying ensures that the upholstery remains fresh and prevents the growth of fungi or bacteria, which can lead to odors.

Once the material is dry, you can use the furniture or carpet much sooner. In the case of carpets, the entire room can be used again more quickly.

What Affects the Drying Speed of Upholstery, Carpets, and Rugs?

The drying time is primarily influenced by the following factors:

• Air Humidity: The lower the humidity, the better the drying process.

• Temperature: A warm environment speeds up evaporation.

• Air Circulation: Proper airflow allows moisture to evaporate more quickly.

Ideal Drying Conditions:

The best scenario is a dry, warm summer day with plenty of airflow in the room. These conditions will help the material dry quickly and thoroughly, reducing the risk of moisture-related issues like mold, bacteria, and unpleasant smells.

By ensuring proper drying, you can maintain the condition of your upholstery, carpets, and other materials, and prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms that thrive in damp environments.
