Are Your Home or Business Rugs More Prone to Mold?

Mold and mildew are known to grow on moisture, which means some areas of a house or commercial space are more naturally inclined prone to have mold grow on them. These areas are the kitchen, the bathroom, the basement or the laundry room, which are all are naturally moist. However, mold can also grow on rooftops, on walls, the ceiling, as well as on rugs and carpeting that have been left sitting in water without being properly dried on time. This can occur inside vacation homes with leaking pipe problems that have not been detected in time, bursting pipe issues, accidental floods, or homes located in areas with high humidity all year longs.

Health Problems Connected to Exposure to Mildew and Mold

Exposure to mold can cause a type of allergy that resembles hay fever, but this is not the only health issue you might be dealing with if mildew has taken over your rugs. Mold is known to generate a series of allergens, as the substances found in it can provoke allergic reactions in some people. If you or your children suffer from asthma, you will be more likely to suffer some potentially dangerous reactions when exposed to mold. According to the EPA, black mold and other types of dangerous mold will usually release some extremely dangerous substances called mycotoxins. These can cause irritations to the lungs, eyes, and nose. Also, even people who do not suffer from any respiratory problems or mold allergies can also be sometimes affected by a number of allergic reactions, which is why hiring well-trained pros who know what they are doing is essential.

Our Expert Mold and Mildew Removal Services

If you are currently dealing with mold or mildew on your rugs, it is best to try to avoid any DIY removal or area rug treatments. Directly trying the mold and mildew on your rugs trying to assess the extent of the damage will cause more harm than good. You will not only move around the spores of the mold and cause them to freely and uncontrollably spread throughout the air, but also potentially harm your skin and trigger a rash or a different type of allergic reaction on the spot, especially if you are already allergic to mold.

Our expert rug mold and mildew restoration services can tackle the problem for you in a few simple steps:

  • they will complete a detailed assessment of the source of the mold as well as the moisture that has triggered it. This is mandatory in order to prevent further mold and mildew issues with your rugs in the near future.
  • The next step of the process is the vacuuming that is needed to thoroughly remove all traces of dust and dirt.
  • Depending on the type of area rug you need assistance with, we could then either manually wash the rug or opt for steam cleaning, dry cleaning, or a different compatible cleaning method.
  • Both sides of the rug will be washed with the help of low pH shampoos and other cleaning products compatible with the weaving and fabrics.
  • Our advanced anti-mold technicians closely follow the most advanced EPA protocols needed to contain the contamination. We warmly recommend you not to rely on bleach to remove any mold and mildew staining and spotting. While bleach might remove some of the visible mold, it will not be as efficient at actually killing the spores of the and stopping them from further thriving on your rugs. This is why it is essential to hire top area rug mold cleaning services that can use the strongest, and at the same time, the safest mold and mildew removal products and techniques.
  • With the help of slow-drying techniques, we can also guarantee that the size and the beautiful colors of the rug will not be affected.
  • Finally, we will carefully apply specialized fabric softener that is fully compatible with the type of rug that you own to prevent additional fungi and mold from growing on it.

Client Testimonials

We had H&S picked up two Persian rugs from our apt on the UPW, they cleaned them and repair the fringes and binding on one of them, I have to say I am very pleased with the result, the rugs came back in fine, great shape. Thank you Ben and his staff. I will be using you guys again

- MARTHA JACOBS

H&S truly did a remarkable restoration job, on our Wool and Silk rugs, which was infected with Moth damage, after cleaning it they have sent us detail photos of the damage and assessment of what needed to be done. When they brought it back we couldn’t find where the damages were, that’s how great their work is!! I highly recommend them!

–DANIEL STERN

We are very pleased that we have found H&S Oriental Rug Cleaning and Repair NYC. They showed up in time, they were very polite and gave us a detail explanation on our two Silk rugs, that had some very bad urine stains, they took the rugs, clean them, soaked them in a special bath that “breaks down the urine” as they explained. Afterword they restore the color very gracefully. In the end we got our rugs back in new condition, just like the first day we got them. Thank you H&S ☺
