Question:

Mold in new carpeting?

New carpeting was just laid in the place I just moved into, and it smells like there's mold either in the carpeting or padding, I'm not sure which. I'm guessing it's the carpeting.Does anyone know if a solution of white non-sudsing ammonia would kill the mold?If not is there anything I can do about it without having to call in a professional?

Answer:

If the carpet isn't hairy, and you don't smell anything odd, tell your Mom, The carpets fine. And get the dog trained, or that will cause an odor. She's old enough to be completely housebroken.
Spreading Mule Team Borax tends to slow and even kill mold spores, while being gentle on carpet fabric. The key is to act quickly making every effort to stop this hazard of mold in one's house.
Ok okorder . ALSO, when you sprinkle the baking soda on, LEAVE IT for awhile, walk on, forget about it, vacuum it up later, it won't hurt a thing.
