How To Remove Black Mold From Outdoor Carpet

1. Mix the cleaning solution. In a bucket, combine equal parts white vinegar and water. This solution will not be able to take out deeply set-in mold.

2. Test the solution. Before you use it on the entire carpet, test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet. Wait at least 15 minutes to make sure the solution doesn't damage the carpet.

3. Apply the cleaning solution. If the solution tests safe for use, apply it to the entire carpet, starting with a corner. Use a scrub brush to work the solution into the carpet fibers and loosen the mold and black dirt stains.

4. Let the solution sit. Let the cleaning solution sit on the carpet for at least 15 minutes. This will give time for the vinegar and baking soda to kill and loosen the mold.

5. Rinse the carpet. Use a garden hose to rinse the cleaning solution and mold from the carpet. Start by rinsing at one end of the carpet and work your way to the other.

6. Leave the carpet to dry. Allow the carpet to dry completely before using it again.
