Black mould on carpets!

[richard green]

Hello there,
Novice cleaner needs info regarding removal of grotty black mould around the
edges of a beige wall to wall carpet in my bedroom.
Steam cleaning does not appear to make an appreciatable difference.Any tips
greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Richard.

what's causing it? is it really mould?
I had black around an upstairs carpet but it wasn't mould, it was air
coming up through the floorboards and bringing dirt with it. I put thin
underlay and pushed it under the skirting to stop it. got rid of the black
stain with a Vanish bar.

I use Stain Buddy, It's a spray that works on almost everything. You
can get it off of QVC, or www.stainbuddy.com. It's the best thing
I've ever used, and i had lots & lots of pet stains!

This isn't mould it's dirt from under the floor boards being forced through
and into the carpet. Unless yuo deal with the edge, do something to stop the
updraft, then you will make it worse by adding water, it will simply wick up
more dirt.
