Bathroom rug had mold on bottom, washed it, color of mold still there, okay to use?

I'm not sure if just the color of the mold is left or there is actually mold still on the rug. Still okay to use?Bathroom rug had mold on bottom, washed it, color of mold still there, okay to use?
The real threat from mold is grossly hyped. I have been arount moldy things all my life and have never known anyone to be affected by it. That is not to say you should try to surround yourself with it either. Simply spray a little bleach water on the bottom of the rug to ensure the mold it dead and don't worry about it.Bathroom rug had mold on bottom, washed it, color of mold still there, okay to use?
NO. Mold can make you very sick. Get rid of it ASAP!
Soak the rug really well in white vinegar and then wash it again...that'll kill the rest of the mold.
yes its OK to use but i would wash it like 2 more times then wash it like once a month from then on


or just go buy a knew one and wash it once a month!
get rid of it. you dont want that to become black mold. any mold can make your alergys go crazy and maybe even make you sick. the best thing to do would be to just buy a new one.
I would try washing it again with baking soda or white vinegar. If the color is still there but the smell is gone it should be safe to use again because most likely it is just a stain from the mold's color.
Unless you can wash it in a solution of bleach then I wouldn't risk it.
I recommend rubbing bleach on the mold stain to kill any mold. If the stain remains, it will still be okay to use b/c the mold will be killed.
