My Professional Insight on Carpet Cleaning and Mold
In my journey as a carpet cleaning expert, I’ve discovered the crucial steps to prevent mold growth during and after the cleaning process.
Carpet cleaning can cause mold if not done correctly. Mold thrives in damp environments, so ensure carpets are dried within 24-48 hours. Use high-powered fans and dehumidifiers, maintain humidity levels between 30-60%, avoid over-wetting, and address spills promptly to prevent mold growth.
