Removing Mold from Carpet

4/18/2018 (Permalink)

Keeping your carpet clean can be a challenge. With the daily coming and going in and out of your home, we often track dirt, dust and other contaminants onto our carpets, despite our best efforts to keep our carpets spotless.

So what do you do if you happen to find some mold spots?

  1. Upon discovering the mold, it’s important to start the process and remove mold from carpet as quickly as possible. If you can move the piece of carpeting or rug outside the house, do so.
  2. Take a broom and sweep the affected area of the carpet. This will help loosen up the mold.
  3. Next, vacuum the affected area of the carpet. After vacuuming, empty the contents of the vacuum bag directly into the trash.
  4. Create a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water in a bucket.
  5. Using a sponge, scrub the affected area of the carpet with the soapy solution you just mixed.
  6. If you’re able to take the carpet outside, let it dry naturally in the sun. If the carpet is not movable, pat dry the surface using a dry towel or rag.
