Our team have experienced all forms of carpet cleaning requests including wine stains, refurbishments of house sales, and of course mould. Mould is a challenge when it’s in your carpet, but it’s easily taken care of by experts.

Carpets, in time, are prone to getting mouldy. It’s a phenomenon that generally occurs where water and moisture are involved in excessive amounts, and it can cause real problems if left unchecked. Damage to the fibres, the health of the individuals living in the house, and unpleasant odours are all common consequences.

Signs of mould in your carpet.

First and foremost: The odour of your carpet is usually an easily missed sign of mould being present in your carpet. Our bodies are great at cutting out familiar odours. Our ‘olfactory senses’ tune out smells that reoccur in our daily lives, and for carpets, this means you often won’t notice the odour of mould yourself.

Generally speaking, mould will occur in a carpet if it has been exposed to excessive water. This tends to occur when serious flooding accidents happen, or when a more serious underground leak is occurring in your home.  Basements are prone to this in particular, and it’s important to mention here that it doesn’t take much water to cause mould. Ultimately, if you sense water in your carpet you should clean it immediately and closely monitor the carpet throughout the following week.

Sometimes, you can see mould in a carpet visually. Discolouration in your carpet is a key sign of it needing general care and maintenance, but it also extends to mould. Mould that is established and in an advanced stage of its lifecycle will change the colour of a carpet. 

If you see a colour change or someone notices an odour from your carpet, it’s time to get that carpet checked by a professional.
