Was it all dry when they finished? I was thinking of hiring one of those vacuums from Coles but I wouldn't want the carpets to nt dry in this weather

Well the place I took it to has their own drying facility...when I got the car back it was dry and clean and I was amazed that my carpets could look like new..I wish I had taken before and after pics to show you...

You can dry the carpets under a fan in your house or leave it in your garage and let the wind do its job..

No, a professional detailer will steam-clean your carpets, same as they do for your home - they won't take them out as a) it takes too much time & b0 they may shrink...

The DIY cans of carpet cleaner don't do anything in my experience.

No I'm pretty sure they did not take out the carpet but they took 5 hours in total...
