So I discovered what I assume is mold on a section of my carpet. It’s a long story, but it’s my own fault. It comes off a little when I scrub, but when I looked it up, I think they said to use vinegar and water, then get a dry brush. Does that sound right? The black stuff does tend to come off. The green does not.

AI says you can use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda as well. Hope you are wearing a mask, and gloves.

Do you have a fan you can use to dry it all out ASAP.? That will help.

Do a test spot on your carpet in an inconspicuous spot with the hydrogen peroxide. It will kill the mold.

Do you guys have a Dollar Tree? Oxy Clean. And then a fan to dry it after youve scrubbed it
