Mold and mildew treatments

Mold and mildew treatment on carpet is something to put much concern and efficient dealing. Silk and wool carpet should always be professionally cleaned. Likewise, only a certified mold expert should remove any substantial amount of mold from carpet.  

Step wise procedure to clean up or remove mold and mildew from smaller carpet is listed below:

• First, avoid all sorts of bleaching chemicals as they affect the coloration and long life of the carpet.
• Clean the carpet using a steam cleaner if possible. If you don’t have access to a steam cleaner, scrub the moldy area using a sponge dipped in a mixture of 1 teaspoon liquid dish detergent (I prefer the blue Dawn) and 1 quart of water.
• After the initial surface cleaning is done, mix 1 cup of household bleach (hypochlorite solution) with 1 gallon of water and sponge it directly on the affected area. Let the solution sit and soak into the carpet for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using a steam cleaner (or shop vac), suction up any remaining moisture on the carpet.
• It’s important to dry the carpet as much as possible to prevent mold growth. To absorb residual moisture, place a folded towel over the wet area and stand on it. Move to a fresh area of the towel as moisture is absorbed. Be sure to thoroughly wash the towel after you use it.
