How to clean mold from the carpet

Mold can be a big problem for people with allergies as the spores are small, pervasive and difficult to detect. Cleaning your carpets and upholstery thoroughly can make a big difference to reducing your symptoms

If mold appears in the house, you can be sure that its smell will remain for a long time. You need to
remove all mold and fungal spores from your carpets and furniture, and then remove the unpleasant
odor. Top carpet cleaning companies provide mold removal services throughout the premises, and
also inform their users of minor problems and help solve the mold problem quickly. Therefore, read
how to eliminate mold on the carpet, as well as how to get rid of its smell.

Effective Carpet Cleaning Techniques for Mold Removal

Mold under the carpet or on the surface is a huge problem. A simple wash or brushing will not help.
Microorganisms are one of the most tenacious creatures on earth. Removing them will be very, very
difficult without a clear control algorithm. The carpet needs to be cleaned with:
● Homemade carpet cleaning products;
● Chemical substances;
● Special equipment.

Special equipment is not available in 99% of cases, therefore, in an independent struggle, you need
to apply the first two points or contact carpet cleaning specialists. Homemade carpet cleaning
recipes are very common and used by housewives on the recommendations of friends or an
unknown site on the Internet. We will tell you how to accurately and quickly remove mold from the
carpet yourself using safe remedies, as well as what chemicals can be used.

Homemade Cleaners against Mold on the Carpet

The most effective way to clean the carpet from mold is to apply clean vinegar to the mold. After a
few hours, rinse with clean water this place and clean it with a brush with detergent. Mold stains
must be cleaned precisely and the smell substantially disappear.

A solution of water with baking soda should be applied to the place of mold and soak the carpet
through. After half an hour, you can wash off the carpet and begin to dry. Soda should remove a stain
of mold, but the smell may remain. We recommend that you contact special deep carpet cleaning
services.

Essential oils cannot help get rid of the mold itself, but can help remove its unpleasant odor. Many
recommend spraying a solution with a spray gun (100 ml of water per 5-10 ml of essential oil).

Carpet Mold Removal Chemicals

Chemicals are best bought as a spray. The domestic carpet cleaning process must be carried out in
the open air, so open your windows widely before cleaning. Chemicals can greatly harm your health
and soak into the elements of everyday life. Before processing, you need to clean the mold place
with a brush, be sure to remember about self-protection (respirator and gloves). Few people know,
but mold spores can cause many diseases, including chronic ones. After directly cleaning the top
layer of mold, cover the area with chemicals.

After waiting (on the product label this time should be indicated) you can rinse the carpet with
water, and then wash it further. Then, dry the carpet and go with a vacuum cleaner. Fungus and
mold will leave the carpet for a long time!

How to Remove the Smell of Mold from the Carpet

The smell of mold will be much more difficult to cope with than the mold itself. We have already said
what homemade cleaning remedies will help you with this, but as far as chemicals are concerned,
they are ineffective with this. Only the ozonation service will help to completely remove the smell of
mold. It will kill mold spores not only in the carpet, but also in the air. Ozonation of premises is the
most effective of all tools to combat mold.

Steam carpet cleaning is an excellent method for coping with bad smell! Thanks to the power of
steam, it is also an excellent tool for cleaning mold itself. Hot water extraction carpet cleaning will
help you in this difficult situation, eliminating the mold and its smell, and what is more – you will
achieve it in an eco-friendly way!
