by You know the sensation you get when entering the cellar and the air seems a little strange? Without the amusing dragons, it feels as though one is entering a dungeon from a fantasy book. In the Ultra Brite Carpet & Tile Cleaning, this usually indicates one evil, invisible offender: mold lying under carpets.
Let’s start off with a little honesty. Mold is not only a North Shore issue; if basements were people, they would most certainly be the ones with mild allergies. The wet and cold temperature of the area offers the ideal small holiday house for mold spores. Really, for them it seems like a summer vacation.
How then can you find out whether these unwelcome visitors are residing in your basement carpet? Initially, let your nose guide you. One really clear indication is a musty smell. Visual checks are also beneficial. Look for discolouration or wetness. Sometimes you have to go down on your hands and knees, raising carpet corners as though you were writing your own micro adventure story.
Now, worry not if you already have a minor itching of nervousness. Here your reliable weapon is prevention. Keep a dry surroundings to let mold run for its worth. Your friend are dehumidifiers. Like a thirsty camel, they pout moisture out of the air. Keep your basement well-ventilated and think about running fans for extra security. Friends won’t allow their basements get stuffy.
But supposing you are already in the grip of a mold disaster? Here, clever planning meets elbow grease. Pull the carpets, then steer clear of the irritating spores when breathing. Though best not to approach too close, believe me they are as chatty as they are clinging. Use anti-fungal treatments to thoroughly clean the problematic region. Often the magic is white vinegar and baking soda. Not yet need to summon the Ghostbusters over here.
