My spouse thought every one of us would save money by renting our own carpet cleaner, our carpet has needed cleaning for over a year now… With a dog, numerous kids, and numerous adults, the carpets have become rather dirty… So every one of us rented the carpet cleaner and diagnosed the entire new home in a weekend, but it was a lot of work and every one of us were proud of ourselves when every one of us were all done, however, it’s been over a week now and there seems to be a problem… The new home smells legitimately musty and I have observed a few spots of mold on the wall near the carpeting.
These mold spots are in more than one room.
I fear every one of us did not vacuum up enough of the water. When I looked online about what to do about this, it recommended that every one of us turn the air conditioner on, then apparently the air conditioner removes moisture from the air. It does not matter that it’s 68 degrees outside, every one of us cranked that air conditioner down to about 55. The two of us also re-rented the carpet cleaner and are going to go back over all of the floors and vacuumed up more water. The other thing that is recommended is that every one of us get a dehumidifier for every room of the house. That’s going to set us back a few dollars but I’d rather spend the money now rather than later. The two of us need to take care of this mold problem before it gets legitimately bad. Hopefully, between the dehumidifier and the air conditioner, we are able to do that. It’s funny, what every one of us thought would save us money, is entirely ending up costing us in the long run.
