How Does Mold Grow & Spread
Mold grows wherever moisture & water is present along with organic material. Your rug could be a good breading ground for them when you spill water and forget to dry it out properly. Mold might grow in the presence of moisture, and feed on the natural textiles on your rug. Molds are:
- Attracted to moisture & water
- Hungry for organic material
- Spread through contact
- Spread through the air
- Able to grow wherever spores land
Other than degrading your rug, it releases mold spores in the air that again affects nearby areas it lands on. If you have pets in your home, mold spores may attach to their feet when they walk over the rug and spread more in this way.
Health Issues to Look Out For
Too many mold spores in the air degrade indoor air quality. When mold is present in your rug, or home, you might notice your family members falling sick, or developing some early symptoms of sickness. If you are able to spot these in time, you might be able to protect your family as well as your rug from extensive harm. You may also detect a moldy/musty smell when there is mold in your indoors.
Health issues you should look out for include:
- Wheezing
- High fever

- Allergic reactions
- Breathing problems
- Complications of asthma & lung diseases
