๐ง๏ธ Winter means a greater risk of leaks and floods โ and carpets can pay the price. Weโve put together an in-depth guide on what to do if your carpeting gets wet: https://bit.ly/ChelseaCleaning-What-To-Do-After-Leak-Flood
๐ก Top tip: the biggest mistake people make is assuming a carpet is fine once it looks dry on top. Mould can start growing within 24 hours and hides deep in the pile.
If it happens to you, here's where to start:
โ
Mop up excess water as soon as possible. Use a wet-and-dry vac if you have one.
โ
Get the air moving: run fans, open windows, use a dehumidifier if possible.
โ
Lift the wet underlay and discard it. It's cheaper than replacing the carpet.
โ
Once itโs dry, have the carpet professionally cleaned.
