Mold growth in your home and rugs can go undetected for a long time. However, every homeowner should know what causes mold growth and what efforts may be made to prevent it.

Hey there, folks! Ruthie, with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care in Prescott, AZ.

Mold can harm your health if left unchecked. It emits allergens and mycotoxins, which are hazardous compounds. If touched or inhaled, it causes throat, skin, and eye irritation, coughing, and a stuffy nose. In addition, mold inhalation can induce respiratory infections or bronchitis in people with a compromised immune system.

Mold can form beneath or inside the rug’s threads, making it difficult for the average person to identify if their rug has mold. Here’s how to detect whether your rug has mold, according to Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care.

Use Rug Cleaner for Musty Smell

One of the telltale indicators of mold growth is a musty, basement-like smell. You may have become oblivious to the smell if you spend a lot of time at your house or place of business, but anyone who enters your area will.

If you notice a musty stench or a visitor mentions it, you should have your rug tested for mold.

 

Rug Age

Most individuals are stubborn about replacing their rugs, even when they know, it’s time. An older rug is more prone to mold growth. In addition, many individuals think a musty mold smell on their carpeting shows its age.

 

Dampness and Discoloration

Mold multiplies on rugs that are wet for even a short time. Therefore, if your rug has wet stains, there may be a leak. Basement rugs are especially prone to mold growth.

If a leak happens, clean it up and dry it quickly to avoid mold growth. Mold may quickly grow in even small amounts of moisture, like a spilled drink. If mold growth has been allowed to flourish, your rug may show green or black blotches. Check for mold-based discoloration underneath the rug first.

Till next time, enjoy your beautiful art for your floor, and remember, a clean rug is a rug that can last you a lifetime!
