        "text": "You can typically walk on your new carpet immediately after installation is complete. The carpet is secured with tack strips and stretching, so it's ready for light foot traffic right away. However, it's advisable to avoid heavy foot traffic, dragging furniture, or placing extremely heavy objects on it for the first 24-48 hours to allow the carpet and any adhesives to fully settle and bond properly.",
