How Long After Carpet Cleaning Can Furniture Go Back?
Once the carpet is dry, usually in an hour or two, depending on the carpet and the weather. Light pieces can go back sooner if you're careful. For heavy furniture, wait for your tech's okay and put tabs or foil under wood and metal legs for a day.

Why wait
Heavy furniture on damp carpet can leave dents, and wood stain or metal rust can transfer to the fibers. Waiting until it's dry avoids both.
