Moulds and mildew crawl and feed on our drapes, rugs, and shower curtains. Anywhere and anything they can get food from. Other instances include cotton, linen, wood, paper, silk, leather, and wool. For this reason, keeping closets, dresser drawers, basements, or anywhere mildew is likely to grow as clean as possible is essential.
Mould And Mildew On the Carpet
Among the most common breeding grounds of moulds and mildew is our carpet. It is a cotton and wool fabric, and sometimes damp conditions will serve as food, enabling these pests to multiply.
The bothersome combination of moulds and mildew on the carpet can develop into trouble if addressed after some time. When moisture and temperature are enough, soil and dirt unattended can supply enough food for moulds to grow. Avoid wetting other rug areas since too much water can begin to breed unwanted mould and mildew again. When cleaned, please practice daily carpet cleaning tips to ensure your rug is in the best condition.
When excessive water has soaked into the carpet during floods, it will probably breed mould and mildew. It is far better to professionally clean, deodorise and disinfect your carpet by Steam ‘n’ Dry Flood Auckland Service experts.
