Steps
- Inspect the carpeting to see the damage
- Find the source of the problem and correct it first
- Locate the mold in the carpeting and either remove or use natural cleaning product.
- Seal up the area and A/C vents to not liberate any spores. Use visqueen to prevent mold spores to travel into other area of the house.
- If removing carpeting then remove carpet 5 feet last visible trace of moisture of mold, also remove tack strips below the carpeting as they will have mold and mildew as well.
- If not removing carpeting, then use natural cleaning product that will remove mold spores but will also prevent the mold from ever coming back by creating a clear barrier. This barrier is known as a encapsulate. Since you are not encapsulating a wall, paint will not do the trick so a liquid solution like Safe Shield? is recommend or some other natural cleaning product that can remove and block future mold growth.
- Spray down area of mold stains and absorb/wipe down problematic areas, repeat to create a clear barrier on the carpeting
- After spraying down or removing the carpeting, use a air heppa filter to catch all the liberated spores in the room.
- Repeat using natural cleaning product for mold and mildew if needed, but be sure to use mold cleaning product that will clean and protect future growth.
Tips
- Bleach may clean the mold, but will most likely have mold growth return because there is no formulation for prevention. In cases that need mold prevention and cleaning use Safe Shield an all natural cleaning product.
Warnings
- Always have professionals consult you and if you are doing the mold remediation yourself be sure to follow the IICRC guidelines.
