Mould can develop when carpet, upholstery or surrounding building materials remain damp for an extended period.
KeMir Premium Upholstery & Carpet Cleaning Services can assist with cleaning and treating suitable mould-affected carpets and upholstery in Sydney, subject to inspection and the extent of contamination.
Common Causes of Mould
Mould may develop following:
- Water leaks
- Plumbing problems
- Flooding
- Moisture trapped beneath furniture
- Poor ventilation
- Condensation
- Damp rooms
- Wet carpet that has not dried correctly
The Moisture Source Must Be Addressed
Cleaning mould without correcting the underlying moisture problem may result in mould returning.
Before cleaning, the source of moisture should be identified and, where possible, repaired.
This could involve fixing a leak, improving ventilation or allowing building materials to dry properly.
Our Approach to Mould-Affected Areas
Depending on the condition and extent of contamination, the service may include:
- Inspection of the affected area
- Assessment of carpet or upholstery condition
- Removal of loose surface contamination where appropriate
- Application of suitable cleaning or treatment products
- Extraction cleaning where appropriate
- Rinsing
- Drying recommendations
- Final inspection
When Specialist Remediation May Be Required
Our service is primarily a carpet and upholstery cleaning service.
Large-scale mould contamination, significant water damage, sewage contamination, structural mould or mould affecting wall cavities and building materials may require a licensed or specialist mould-remediation company.
Severely contaminated carpet, underlay or furniture may also need to be removed rather than cleaned.
We will not represent cleaning as a substitute for professional building remediation where the contamination is outside the scope of normal carpet and upholstery cleaning.
Preventing Mould From Returning
After cleaning:
- Keep the area well ventilated
- Allow carpet and upholstery to dry completely
- Address water leaks promptly
- Avoid placing furniture against persistently damp surfaces
- Use fans or dehumidification where appropriate
- Monitor the area for recurring moisture
Request an Assessment
Send us photographs of the affected area together with your suburb and information about what caused the moisture.
