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 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.
