mold on carpet

Mold on carpet is almost never just a surface issue — by the time you see it, it’s already grown through the backing and into the padding beneath. Shampooing or steam cleaning spreads contamination and adds more moisture, making it worse. This Los Angeles guide covers how mold gets into carpet, how to assess whether it can be saved or must be removed, the IICRC remediation protocol, and when the subfloor also needs treatment.
