Why is Mold Bad?

Why is mold bad?
 
Molds are a major source of allergens. Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, dripping nose, swollen red eyes, and skin rash. Allergic reactions to mold are common.  They can be immediate or delayed.  Molds can also be the culprit that triggers asthma attacks in people.  In addition, mold may irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people.
 
Carpet at Risk
 
Carpeting is a part of the home that can be at high risk for mold growth.  In order to flourish, mold needs dampness, oxygen, a food source, and a place to grow on.  Mold spores are often found naturally in the air.  If spores rest on a moist spot indoors that contains dirt for them to feed on, mold growth is sure to come. Normal carpeting, as well as throw rugs, can provide an abundant  breeding ground for mold if conditions are right.  At especially high risk for mold growth are carpets located below ground level in basements, carpet in homes located in moist or damp climates, and carpet that has been wet for any period of time.
 
Identifying Mold in Carpeting
 
Just because you can’t see mold on a carpet’s surface does not mean that mold growth is not there.  Matter of fact, mold will most likely only be visible on the surface of carpets in extremely severe cases of infestation, such as carpet damaged by water saturation that has remained wet for some time. Some examples of where mold growth has occurred or is likely to occur:
  • Visible Mold :  As mentioned above, this can be the extreme occurrence. Carpet in this condition is not salvageable to the health conscious and should be removed. Often, even if mold growth is not visible, it could be alive and thriving underneath the backing of the carpet where its difficult to be seen.  Carpet suspected of containing mold should be inspected on both sides.
  • Carpet Mildew:  Any color changes or smells on carpeting indicating mildew is probably a case of mold.

  • Wet or Water-Damaged Carpet:  Any carpet that has had water damage from flooding or standing water will most likely need to be disposed of.  Conditions are perfect for mold colonies, in this case.  Even if you can’t see or smell any evidence of mold, it is most likely occurring unless the carpet has been removed, cleaned and dried within 24 to 48 hours.  Even then, it is not guaranteed to prevent mold growth.  It is more likely that the carpet will need to be replaced.

  • Wet Padding Beneath Carpet:  If padding beneath the carpet has become wet or damp, the padding as well as the carpet on top are at risk for mold damage.  The padding should be replaced, as well as the carpet, in some cases.
  • Basement Carpet:  Carpeting in basements in areas with high humidity or big swings in temperature, which cause conditions for condensation are at higher risk of mold

Smells and Stains:  There is a vast spectrum of causes that may generate odors and stains      on carpets.  If you suspect mold, samples may be taken and analyzed to determine if it is due to mold growth. NaturalDry Carpet Cleaning

Dry Carpet Cleaning

NaturalDry uses a dry extraction carpet cleaning method. Our low moisture deep cleaning uses the highest quality, Green Seal Certified products. We use less than 85% of water than a traditional steam cleaning service.
Why Dry Carpet Cleaning in Las Vegas?
First let’s start with our competitor their main primary cleaner is water there are several problems with that. First, all carpet is glued together with latex glue and latex glue is water soluble. Every time you clean your carpet with this type of method it destroys the foundation and backing off your carpet. Not to mention when they force high pressure water into your carpet, it mixes with the dirt and is pushed down into the padding on the carpet. Even the best truck mounted carpet cleaning systems in Las Vegas can only pull about 85 percent of the water back out of the carpet. This dirty water (up to 20 gallons) left behind can cause all types of mold, mildew, bacteria and carpet & padding breakdown and contamination, while waiting for it to thoroughly dry. Also when the water that is removed is pulled out, they are really using your carpet padding as the filter, trapping all types of dirt, allergens, pollen and debris behind. Carpets can stretch, shrink, loose all the protective coating and cause matting of the carpet pile.

The Importance of Dry Carpet Cleaning

It’s important for you to know that the environmentally safe HOST® Dry Carpet Cleaning compound contains a balanced blend of water, detergents, wetting agents and natural ingredients. As the low moisture HOST® Cleaner is brushed through the carpet, the absorbent particles deep clean by dissolving, trapping and removing spots, spills, and greasy, oily dirt. Like a sponge in a kitchen, HOST® Dry Carpet Cleaning compound holds and controls the cleaning liquids so dissolved dirt doesn’t run into the carpet backing. After vacuuming up the HOST® Cleaner, carpet is clean, dry and back in service for your family. HOST® is natural, non-toxic, biodegradable and safe for people and pets.
Carpet Dry CleaningThe extraordinary HOST® scrubbing machines use millions of micro-sponges moistened with environmentally safe cleaners coupled with a vigorous deep brushing action. We brush these micro-sponges through the carpet fibers; efficiently absorbing soil and stains from the carpet yarn into the sponges then vacuum away both soil and micro-sponge powder. Your carpet is bright, fluffy, fresh smelling and ready to walk on immediately. Your carpet pad never gets wet so your carpet will last longer.
When we use our dry cleaning process on your carpet, it will re-soil at the same rate as a new carpet which is contrary to the results of traditional methods of carpet cleaning Wet cleaning methods wash dirt and soap down through the backing into the pad where it cannot be recovered. As your carpet dries over several days, the soapy, dirty water wicks up to the surface leaving a sticky residue. As you walk on your carpet additional soil sticks to it and your rug can end up looking dirtier than it did before it was cleaned. Spots can reappear in as little as 3 days. Pads can remain wet up to 7 days creating ideal conditions for mold growth. (Some mold spores are toxic; small children are at particular risk). Other so called carpet dry cleaning systems clean surface soil with buffing machines, but, like steam carpet cleaning, it also push dirt and soap into the pad. Dry carpet cleaning eliminates all of these problems.

Don't use Rental Carpet Cleaners!

Training- It’s critical to know what cleaning method and agents are the most effective for problem areas.  Unless you have a background in chemistry or have been professionally trained in carpet or upholstery cleaning, you may regret using a rental cleaning system.  A professional can distinguish the ph needs and setting of the issue and will be able to resolve the problem area by using a specialized cleaning solution.   Rental units will come with cleaning products that are fairly inert and ineffective as they have to minimize their liability. 
  
Power- That supermarket rental is limited by needing to be in a small package to fit in the aisle.  It’s also limited in that it relies on your home’s electricity.   The level of strength in your cleaning system is directly proportional to how dry your carpet or upholstery will be after the job is done.  A professional unit leverages the engine in a van mounted cleaning system. 
  
Heat- Temperature is a key factor in how clean your carpet or upholstery will get in the process.  If your water is limited by the heat supplied by your hot water heater and the downtime of the trips back and forth to a faucet to refill your rental unit, then you are leaving soil and residues in the carpet which will break it down over time.
  
  Time- A certified professional has seen your issue literally hundreds of times.  Instead of using a one-size-fits all method or cleaning agent to attempt to resolve the issue, trust Longo Carpet Cleaning and Restoration to resolve your issue.  We’ve been doing this for almost thirty years and we guarantee your satisfaction
