Best method for drying

[Sergio]

Hi,
I bought a garage to wash the carpets. For now I can't buy a centrifuge. I will dry the carpets by vacuuming them with a vacuum cleaner for liquids. After vacuuming the water, I will place the carpet on a flat floor for final drying. What type of flooring do you recommend for this phase?

Thanks

Oh man. Where to start......

If you are forced to dry on a floor and don’t have a rug rack or lift system, I would build a floating floor to dry the rugs from the back to prevent browning. Use an acid rinse.

At the very minimum lay down a tarp and float the rug with air movers by placing them under the rugs.

the more water you can remove first the better

maybe something is getting lost in translation, but I'd be using a water claw with a portable over a wet vac

What is water claw with a portable over a wet vac?

What is water claw with a portable over a wet vac?

Small holes that centralize in areas for more lift and greater extraction.

Shop vac is one large opening that won't remove water as easy or as efficient
