Abstract: A method to wash and dry carpets and an in situ carpet washing service is described. The service uses transportable equipment comprising in one frame a washing unit, a drying unit and conveyor for transferring the carpet between the washing and drying units of the equipment, a control unit for controlling the operation of the equipment, and means for receiving production goods to the equipment. In the equipment the carpet is transported from a first feeding end, through the washing and drying units to the second receiving end at a constant speed such that the washing and drying steps can be completed in less than 20 minutes and the tack free carpet can be returned to the customer without a need of a replacement carpet.

Abstract: Equipment for washing a carpet includes a conveyor for transferring the carpet between washing and drying units, a control unit, at least one washing unit and at least one drying unit located in the transport direction after the washing unit, and elements for receiving production goods to the equipment. The conveyor is able to transfer the carpet through the washing and drying units with the same speed. The washing unit includes a wet or dry cleaning unit, with at least one brush and elements for transferring the carpet. Each drying unit has a blowing device for blowing compressed air at a pressure of 2-15 bars onto the pile side of the carpet, the blowing pressure depending on the carpet type and/or transfer speed of the carpet at a drying station of the drying unit, it being possible to blow such an amount of compressed air through the drying apparatus so that the carpet exits the drying station tack free.
