- In case anyone hasn’t noticed, it’s been a little wet of late
- And that has meant quite a bit of flooding and wet carpets!
- And hand in hand with that has come mould
- So what you say? A little mould never hurt anyone!
- As a matter of fact, it has and does, regularly! It is a known trigger for people with respiratory issues!
- Mould occurs when carpeting or even upholstery has been left for too long.
- Given that it grows in areas of no light and no air movement, it thrives in the back of wet carpets, giving you that typical musty smell.
- So musty that in fact we’ve had a few recently with so much mould, it was also on top of the carpet! I’ve even seen some with a mushroom farm thriving!
- By this stage, it is far too late! If you can see mould, the carpet is generally destroyed and in need of replacement.
- So, if you get wet carpets, please make sure you deal with them sooner rather than later before your fungal growth eats you out of house and home!
