From how to keep carpet stair treads clean with pets in the house, Step 4: Patience is a Virtue – Air Dry for Perfect Reattachment
After approximately 5 hours of outdoor drying (or when it feels mostly dry to the touch), carefully bring the rug indoors. Lay it flat in a well-ventilated area, preferably where air conditioning can further aid in drawing out any remaining moisture. The air conditioning will help ensure the rug is completely dry, preventing mildew or musty odors. Once fully dry, place the now clean, fresh-smelling rug back in its original location, refreshed and ready for use.
