Sofas: an average, not a deadline
Dodo’s average sofa drying time is about 10–12 hours with normal ventilation. This is an estimate, not a guarantee. Fabric, cushion thickness, temperature, humidity, and air movement can make drying faster or slower. Let the upholstery dry completely before using it. Carpet and rug drying times need to be estimated separately; the sofa range should not be assumed for them.
Mattresses: leave more of the day
A morning appointment leaves more of the day for drying, so it is generally the better time to plan mattress cleaning. It does not guarantee the mattress will be ready that night. Use it only when completely dry, and leave bedding and the protector off until then. Some foam mattresses must not get wet; send the model or care instructions before choosing a cleaning method.
Help the air move
Keep air moving and leave the cleaned surface uncovered. Fans can help; air conditioning or a dehumidifier can help in a humid room. Open windows only if outdoor air is drier. Follow item-specific instructions for cushion positioning, and wait until items are completely dry before replacing covers or bedding and returning to normal use.
