Can I vacuum while my carpet is still damp?

Question

I got my carpet steam cleaned about 24 hours ago, but it's still a little damp, will it ruin my vacuum if i vacuum?

Answer 1

yes it will ruin the vacuum If youe vacuum is not designed to pick up water

Answer 2

NO, don't vacuum it.  You will ruin your vacuum and your carpet.  The fibers in your carpet will pull and wear them down.  Don't do it until your carpet is completely dry.

Answer 3

If it was just cleaned you do not need to vacuum. If you really think you must - wait

Answer 4

Don't vacuum!! The vacuum will get ruined, the carpet will get tracked with the dirt from the vacuum!  AHHHH..

Answer 5

yeah i wouldn't risk doing that.

plus you just got it steamed; why do you need to vacuum it?

Answer 6

Theres no sense in vacuuming it right away.

If the carpets wet the vac will have difficulty picking up anyway.

When they were cleaned they don't usually put a lot of the water & cleaner down.

Run a couple of fans, ceiling fans & you should be dry in 2-3 hrs
