Mould on carpet isn’t just ugly — it’s a health risk and a sign of damp problems. At All in One Aussie Cleaning, we take mould seriously. Here’s what you need to know about how mould develops, why it’s dangerous, and how we professionally clean and remove it so your carpet is safe, fresh, and mould-free.
Why Mould Grows on Carpets
- Mould thrives where there’s moisture and poor airflow, like after a leak, flood, or even just high humidity.
- If carpet remains damp for too long, spores spread and multiply, especially in thick fibres or padding underneath.
- Hidden mould may be present under carpet backing or in underlay; what you see on the surface may be just the tip of the problem.
Health Risks of Carpet Mould
- Breathing mould spores can trigger allergies, asthma, or respiratory irritation.
- For people with weakened immune systems, prolonged exposure can pose a serious health risk.
- If mould has penetrated deep — into underlay or sub-floor — it’s harder to remove and more likely to return.
Professional Mould Carpet Cleaning: What We Do
At All in One Aussie Cleaning, here’s how we tackle mould in carpets professionally:
- Inspect & Assess
We assess how bad the mould is — surface only, or underlay too — so we know how deep to clean. - Remove Moisture
We use high-powered extraction to pull out trapped moisture, stopping the mould from feeding. - HEPA Vacuum
We vacuum with HEPA-filter machines to capture loose spores without spreading them. - Apply Anti-Mould Treatment
We use safe, carpet-friendly antimicrobial cleaners or hydrogen peroxide solutions to kill mould. - Deep Clean / Rinse
After treatment, we steam clean (hot-water extraction) to remove residue, spores, and treatment chemicals. - Rapid Drying
We use air movers and dehumidifiers to completely dry the carpet and underlay — because mould loves dampness. - Final Inspection
Once dry, we check again for any signs of remaining mould or musty smell. If everything is good, we recommend prevention strategies.
DIY Fixes (When You Catch It Early)
You can try a few safe, DIY steps before calling the pros — but only for small patches:
- Use a HEPA vacuum to pick up spores first.
- Mix white vinegar and water or use a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution to spray the mould, then blot dry.
- Sprinkle baking soda to absorb odours, then vacuum it up once dry.
- Dry the area thoroughly using a dehumidifier or fan — moisture control is the key.
But beware: if the mould covers a large area, or the carpet was soaked for a long time, DIY may not be enough.
Mould Prevention Tips
- Fix leaks or damp spots immediately — don’t let moisture linger.
- Use dehumidifiers or increase airflow in humid rooms.
- Clean and vacuum your carpets regularly with a HEPA filter vacuum.
- Consider scheduling professional cleaning if you’ve had water damage or recurring mould.
