Depending on the type of carpet, mix a weak solution (about 5%) of clorine bleach and use a spray bottle and brush it in with a stiff brush. Test it first in an inconspicuous area to see if the fabric will fade. If the carpet is colorsafe you can brush the mixture into the carpet then use a carpet cleaner to pull the mixture back out. That will often pull the mould stain out, depending on the kind of mould.

How do you remove mold from boat carpet?

I would suggest hydrogen peroxide. Spray it on with a trigger sprayer and brush the stain, then rinse with hose or absorb with cleaning towels. Mold can leave a permanent stain, but the peroxide serves as an anti-bacterial agent that should kill the mold, preventing the spread of it.

If the stain is fresh a cloth wet with cold water dabbed on the area is highly effective. However if the stain has already set using Hydrogen Peroxide is a safe choice as it wont bleach your carpet but will break down the stain it self allowing it to be washed away.

How do you get mold out of a carpet?

Ideally, you should remove the section of carpet with mold. After that, either inspect or have a professional inspect the subfloor. It will probably also have mold. People hate to admit it, but mold is a very serious problem. If necessary, remove a portion of the sub floor and inspect there. If the mold did not penetrate the sub floor, remove all the carpet and inspect the sub floor. Remove all moldy spots and install new sub floor and carpeting. Finally, you should try to locate the source of water for the mold. It's probably in the ceiling, so hope you are on the highest story of your building - or you'll have a lot of drywalling to do. If you're not on the highest level, you'll need to get into the ceiling. This might be a job for a professional.

How do you remove mold from marble in a shower?

Mold will not grow on marble. Mold needs cellulose or other decaying organic matter that is not present in marble (or limestone or granite) However marble will suck in mold that is growing around it causing the marble to stain. So before you start to take the mold stain out of the stone you need to remove the mold that is causing the stain. If it is from the top or side due to build up in the grout lines you need to fully clean those out. Chlorine or bleach is the best product to kill mold, but that is harmful to marble. Try a ph neutral sanitizer. If the mold is beneath the stone in a floor and wall you have a bigger problem then stained marble. You need to remove the stone and cut out the mouldy items. At this point its probably just as cheap if not cheaper to replace the stone. However if you want to salvage the stone you need to apply a poultice. A poultice is a mud pack of diatomaceous earth (its used in filters and can be found at any pool supply store) and water that is placed on the stone and covered with a plastic (2-3mil) sheet and tape sealed at the edges. Allow 48 hours to dry and remove. Repeat as necessary.
