With just over half of the floors covered by carpets in the city of San Francisco, carpet cleaning is a booming business. As with all things, though, timing matters. Humidity peaks in the region around January, making it a challenge for carpet cleaners in San Francisco to dry floors after a wet extraction or steam cleaning. October 7th happens to be, on average, the least humid day of the year, so it might be worth pre-cleaning and making an appointment with busy San Francisco cleaners early, if carpet cleaning—or home improvement in general—is on the docket this year.
