More on How To Get Rid Of Mold

Because carpet has a tendency to soak up tons of dirt and moisture, its fibers tend to attract mold with the greatest of ease. Of course you could just throw the carpeting away if you have a lot of money to spend, but economically that’s just not feasible. So here’s an easier solution on how to get rid of mold from your carpet without spending a lot of money.

If you’re concerned about how to kill mold without damaging your lungs, one of the easiest ways to remove mold from your carpet is by locating the source of the fungi and applying a solution of vinegar and water to the spot. You should let the solution set in for at least five minutes and then vacuum with a carpet shampooer.

Once the area dries, you should reapply the solution and clean the area with the carpet shampooer again. To help prevent future mold problems, try using baking soda on your carpet and vacuum up with a vacuum cleaner that uses a HEPA filter. And now that you know how to get rid of mold from your carpet, you can breathe a little easier the next time your kids run barefoot on the floor.
