How Do You Remove Mold On Rugs & Clothes?
Mold can occur on rugs and clothing when the items become wet and are placed in a poorly ventilated or humid environment. Clothes or rugs can become moldy if they are thrown into a clothes hamper when wet and are left to sit for days. Excess moisture from an air conditioner or plumbing leak can also cause mold to grow on clothing and rugs. Besides smelling bad and leading to mold stains, mold can cause a variety of medical problems. If mold begins growing on rugs and clothing, mold spores can cause you to have a runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Mold spores can also irritate your lungs, throat, skin and eyes. If you wear moldy clothing, you may feel itchy and develop a skin rash. If you have asthma, moldy rugs and clothes can exacerbate your asthma symptoms. Find the source of the water and moisture. By eliminating the moisture source, you can avoid having a mold problem in the future. Common sources of water include plumbing leaks; heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems
