Health Concerns of Wet Carpets and How to Manage Them
Wet carpets can pose several health concerns if not addressed. Here are some of the potential issues and tips on how to manage them
Wet Carpet Health Concerns
There are a few health concerns worth noting if your indoor carpets consistently get or stay wet. These includes:
- Mold Growth …which can develop within 24-48 hours in a damp environment. Mold spores can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues when inhaled.
- Build Up of Bacteria and Germs
- Trapping Allergens
In addition, consistently wet carpets can become damaged over time, potentially requiring your carpets to be replaced.
How to Manage Wet Carpets
Dry Your Carpets …use a wet-dry vacuum, towels, and/or a pump to extract water. Make sure to wear protective gear, especially if the water is contaminated.In addition, you can use fans, dehumidifiers, as well as open windows to promote airflow and expedite the drying process.
Disinfect and Clean …having your carpets professionally cleaned after water damage is imperative to the health and safety of your home or business. Consulting with a professional is definitely the best approach – and we can help!
