You can find the smell of mold in your house in two ways: following your nose, and using common sense tactics like looking anywhere there’s water first. Mold cannot form in a completely dry environment, which is why you see mold much more often under kitchen sinks than on garage floors. If you have looked everywhere and still can’t find the source, hire a pro, because you may have mold in your walls.

There are a lot of good reasons to hire a carpet cleaner. Compared to other types of flooring, carpet has a relatively low life span, but regular professional cleaning can prevent the need for early replacement. It also helps maintain the appearance of your carpet and removes allergens like dust and pollen, as well as bacteria. If you do not want to hire a pro, you can rent a carpet cleaner and do the job on your own.
