Can anyone tell me what this growth is? My bedroom floor got wet due to the poor quality control with the washer drain hose. Shorted out my slide control box. Got that all repaired and then a few weeks later this stuff showed up. Cleaned it all up and it came back. I have sprayed with Lysol, vinegar, peroxide and some other anti bacteria / mold products and it still comes back. I don’t want to use bleach because it’s on the carpet. The photo is 3 days after vacuuming it up. If you know what it is, how do you kill it?

May want to get it analysed at a lab and wear masks until you determine what it is.

Agree with Andy about the mask, it looks like dandelion fuzz & probably airborne easily, especially if using the vacuum.
It's definitely looks like some sort of mold that is from the wet chemicals in the carpet & wood.

you may also look into a Ozone generator , I found one on amazon for $60 . You can not be in the camper , same is true for pets for 2-4 hr. Its not good for you at high levels . Just air it out for 1/2 hour with the fans and windows open.
