If you have carpet in your home, you might have more work on your hands than you realize. A problem that carpets sometimes make worse is mold. If you spill something on a carpet, you might just dab it to dry it up and think it’s alright, but in reality, you should expend a little more effort than that. Mold thrives in a wet environment, and even a carpet that is marketed as mold resistant could become a fertile breeding ground for mold spores. This is why it is important that you dry up spills thoroughly and ensure that there is good ventilation in the room to prevent mold from starting to get a foothold.
There is even a risk that the mold starts growing underneath the carpet, leading to a situation where you might not notice the problem until the mold has taken hold completely, leading to poor air quality and allergens in the air in your home.
