Wall to wall carpet, if left wet for several days, has a good chance of breeding mold. This is why having your home and contents dried within 24-48 hours is always critical in such a situation. Always remember that the pad underneath the carpet has to be removed and allow the carpet to be hung to dry. You might want to send it to a professional water extraction company but do make sure that they use enough drying fans and dehumidifiers. If you wish to save money, then do be reminded that you can save the carpet and replace only the pad if you clean up the water quick enough.
Here are more tips for you
-carpets that are cleaned should be dried within 24 hours
-mold contaminated carpet on stairs or in halls should be taken care of promptly because it gets a lot of traffic which will spread the spores around your home
-if you use rugs instead of carpets, here ’s the good news, they can be machine washable or dry cleanable. But it is still best to get the water out of the way as soon as possible.
