Mold in rug padding cannot be treated? Think again.
Myth: Once mold is found underneath a rug, the entire rug must be replaced.
Fact: The right solution depends on the extent of mold growth, moisture source, padding condition, and rug material. In some cases, specialized extraction and antimicrobial treatment may help address affected areas, while severely contaminated materials may need replacement.
Mold problems should be addressed at the source—not simply covered up.
