Hi there, it’s Ruthie from Arizona Oriental,
Since mold can grow in wet rugs, it’s essential to discuss this issue now that wet weather has arrived.
However, the average person may have trouble determining if their rug has mold because it can grow beneath the rug or within its threads. Cleaning specialists at Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care share their secrets for identifying mold in rugs.
Strange Musty Smell Needs Area Rug Cleaner
A musty, damp basement odor is a common sign of mold growth. If you spend a lot of time in your home or workplace, you might have grown accustomed to the odor, but anyone who enters your space will notice it immediately. You should get your rug checked for mold if you or a guest notice a musty smell.
Age of Your Rug
Most people are stubborn about replacing their rugs even when they are aware of the need to do so. As a rug ages, it becomes more and more likely to develop mold. Some people may attribute a musty mold odor to the rug’s age when it’s just a sign that the rug has been poorly cleaned.
Dampness
Mold can quickly spread when rugs are wet for any length of time. If your rug has damp areas, you may leak onto the floor. Mold growth is more common on rugs kept in the basement. Rapid cleanup and drying after a leak are essential for preventing mold growth. The smallest amount of water, such as from a spilled drink, is all mold needs to start growing.
