Mold can grow on rugs, even ones made of inorganic materials. And if mold grows on rugs, it should be addressed as soon as possible, as mold can grow and spread quickly.

 

Hi there, it's Ruthie from Arizona Oriental, and I want to go over the mold issue. Seeing damper weather isn't far away.

However, because mold can grow beneath the rug or inside its threads, it might be difficult for the typical individual to tell if their rug has mold. According to the rug cleaning experts from Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care, here's how to tell whether your rug has mold.

Strange Musty Smell Needs Area Rug Cleaner

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.

 

Age of Your Rug

Even when they know it's time to replace their rugs, most people are adamant about keeping them. The older the rug, the more susceptible to mold growth it is. Many people mistakenly believe that the musty mold smell on their rug signifies their rug's age.

 

Dampness

When rugs are exposed to water for even a short amount of time, mold grows quickly. There could be a leak on the floor if your rug has moist spots. Rugs in basements are more likely to develop mold in general. If a leak occurs, it should be cleaned and dried as soon as possible to avoid mold growth. Mold can quickly thrive in even the smallest quantity of moisture, such as from a spilled drink.

 

Allergies

Mold causes allergies in most humans, as well as asthma and bronchitis. If someone in your home has these problems suddenly, you must have your rug inspected for mold. These symptoms, however, do not affect everyone.

 

Weird Coloring

You may notice greenish or blackish spots on your rug if mold growth has been allowed to flourish. Check underneath the rug for mold-based discoloration, as this normally happens before the upper surface.
