Question:

Is it Okay to Step on Wet Carpet?

One night, I was bored, so I decided to use the carpet cleaner on the carpet. The next day, I needed to use the computer for various reasons, which was in the room I used the cleaner on. I went in and went on the computer, until my mom found me on, and told me that you can't step on wet carpet, otherwise it grows mold. She got that from a professional cleaner. So, does anyone know if its true or not?

Answer:

Stepping on carpet isn't going to make it mold, Mold can start to grow within 4 hours of carpet getting wet, You need to get some air circulating on that carpet . it should only take a couple of hours to dry, Put some fans blowing on it or any way you can get air movement, Open the windows or do all of these thing It sounds like you saturated the carpet , this is a common mistake people make cleaning there own carpets, good luck
