How to Clean Moldy Carpets

Sent in by a reader Question:
How can I clean my carpet that got wet and moldy due to a leak?

Deborah suggests:
"I used to be a manager for a cheese store chain. We used buckets of vinegar water to soak the knives and cleaning rags in between uses. The acid in the vinegar keeps you from spreading mold from one cheese to the other during trimming and to prevent some weird strains of "bleu cheddar" after cutting a bleu cheese for a customer ;-) Vinegar is also a good deodorant so you might try spraying the carpet with vinegar then making SURE it is thoroughly dry (fans and space heaters maybe?). The underlying floor will have to be thoroughly dry and disinfected as well or it will just keep coming back. You might use household bleach for the underflooring. "
