If you have a lot of carpet in your home, there might be trouble brewing underneath it.
Many homeowners don’t think too much about this, but a carpet can provide an excellent growing spot for mold. In fact, mold can even grow underneath your carpet and spread unseen. If you have mold growing in your home, you will quickly notice it, since it will provide a musty smell and lower the air quality in your home.
The problem when mold is growing underneath a carpet is that you won’t notice it until you have a serious problem. This is why you should be diligent about cleaning up spills on your carpet. It is especially important when there is a drink with something in it, but even a water spill could lead to mold growth. Wet or sweaty clothes lying on a carpet can also lead to mold growth, so it is better to hang them up to dry immediately.
