Avoid disaster. New rugs are often treated with a chemical wash to brighten colors. If a chemical wash was too strong, it could loosen the dye and wash out. Pre-test a small area to avoid a big problem.
All homes have the key ingredients needed for mold growth: the presence of mold spores, a surface for it to grow on, oxygen, warmth, and darkness.
Wooden cutting boards, trash cans, behind the stove (where food crumbs fall) and windows and window sills in the kitchen are like heaven for mold spores. They feed off of these places, so keeping them clean and dry is critical for keeping mold at bay.
Inspect windows and roofs after heavy storms for moisture. The excess moisture will cause mold to grow if left uncleaned.
If you experience a major water loss or flooding, never turn on electrical appliances that have been exposed to water. Repairs to electrical wiring must be performed by a pro.

Always do a thorough walk-through of your home during flood-prone times. Pay special attention to rarely inspected areas like under the stairs, back corners of basements, etc.
Containment is the creation of isolation barriers to ensure mold contamination does not spread to other areas of a facility.
