Moldy car

[CaptainJp]

My Garage is not the most of water tight places, which is getting a new roof this summer.

But my car has started to go Moldy.
I'm planning to replace the seats and cover the dash at some point, but not for a while & it's still it's sad to see.

Can anyone recommend a product I can use to clean the car and carpets to stop it coming back, what do the detailers use?

It might not have helped by leaving the window slightly open to let the trickle charger lead out.
I plug it in under the rear clip now and not the cigarette lighter.

Should I get a few of these for winter storage?

On the contrary leaving the window open will allow the air to circulate a little and help with any condensation issues.
Don't waste your money on chemical absorbers.
You can get a dehumidifier for around £100.00 which will dry your car out in very short order.
something along these lines:

(not a nod to this particular one, just an example)
Some of these have a moisture sensing programme and can be left to operate as an when humidity becomes an issue.

Thanks, I used to have 2 in Hong Kong and they needed emptying every day.

What about cleaning it?
Just soapy water?

I would recommend you use a carpet/upholstery shampoo that contains a biocide; this will kill off any bugs and smells Etc. that maybe lurking.

If its just mold a hoover should do the trick just to lift it. If anything a damp cloth, you probably wont require any soap. Need to be especially careful if its alcantara and wouldn't recommend using cleaners on it.
