Cleaning and Prevention of Mold in your Carpets
Got mold
If you notice mold developing in your boats, car, or RV's carpets, you should make it a priority to clean it. Mold will spread quickly and is a serious health hazard. You will want to clean it throughly and, if your carpets are removable, the floor below it. Severe molding should warrant the removal, cleaning, and re-installation of the carpet. What you'll need:
- Mold Away (and an empty spray bottle); Stiff Scrub Brush; Cloths or Microfiber cloths; Dustmask to avoid inhaling spores
How you do it:
If carpet is removable, go ahead and do so. If not, determine if the mold infestation warrants cutting and pulling it. Start by mixing the Mold Away and spraying the affected area. Let it soak.
Scrub the affected area with the Scrub Brush. The goal is to loosen the mold and break it away form the carpet or floor. Wipe the area completely clean with the cloths. Let area completely dry. Reinstall the carpet.
Determine how the mold growth started. Is there a leakDid you spill somethingIf there is a problem, fix it. Otherwise the mold will return.
