How Do I Clean Mold Out of Carpet Fiber?

Remove Mold From Carpet Fibers by Hand

1). Fill a 5-gallon bucket with 1 gallon of water. Add 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1/4 cup of liquid dish soap. Mix with a wooden spoon.
2). Use a soft scrub brush to scrub the mixture into the carpet fibers. Scrub in a circular motion. Continue scrubbing until all mold is removed from the carpet fibers.
3). Rinse the carpet thoroughly by blotting it with a clean cloth dampened in cool water.
4). Remove excess water from the carpet by patting with a dry towel.
5). Turn fans towards the carpet to help speed the drying process.

1). Visit your grocery store or home-improvement center. Rent a carpet-cleaning machine. You may be required to show two forms of ID and leave a deposit. If you return the carpet-cleaning machine in the same condition in which you received it, you will be refunded your deposit.
2). Remove all items, including furniture and rugs, from the carpet. Vacuum the carpet thoroughly to remove surface dirt and debris.
3). Read and follow all instructions and warnings printed on the carpet-cleaning machine.
4). Fill the water container with hot water. Fill to the indicator line and add 1 to 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Replace the container onto the carpet-cleaning machine.
5). Begin at the area farthest away from the entrance and work toward it. This will keep you from walking over freshly cleaned carpet.
6). Squeeze the trigger on the carpet-cleaner, which releases the cleaning solution, while pushing the machine forward.
7). Pull the carpet-cleaner back in the same path as you pushed it. Pulling the machine back will scrub the carpet while removing the excess liquid from the carpet fibers.
8). Continue in this manner until you have thoroughly cleaned the carpet and removed the mold.
9). Turn fans towards the carpet to help speed the drying process.
