Frequently Asked Questions

Can a swamp cooler cause mold in my carpet?

Yes. Evaporative coolers raise indoor humidity to 40–70%, and carpet absorbs that moisture into its fibers, backing, and padding. If humidity stays above 55% for extended periods, mold and mildew can develop — often without visible signs until a musty odor appears. Professional carpet cleaning after cooler season removes accumulated moisture, debris, and early mold spores. Call AZ Same Day Service at (602) 397-0356.

How often should I clean carpets if I use an evaporative cooler?

Twice a year at minimum: once in late spring before the cooling season begins, and once in early fall after the cooler is shut down. Homes with older or oversized swamp coolers pushing humidity above 60% should consider quarterly professional cleaning.
