Mold in Car
 
Anyone know of any good products for washing Mold out of car carpet and rag top?

I took up rugs and scrubbed the floors and rugs. Seems to be working. Haven't got to roof yet and need to clean leather seats. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

David

How to remove car interior mold | Auto Detail Doctor

While up in Portland, OR for two years my '92 XJ Jeep came down with a nasty case of interior mold...also exterior.
I used a solution of Pinesol with a touch of Clorox. Just a bit of Clorox, really.
In fact, don't even add Clorox, just hold the solution of Pinesol close to your lips and whisper, "Clorox".

Haha yeah the mold will go spore away!?

Dilute bleach water.

Mold or mildew is in every corner of the space.
Localized cleaning with a liquid won't cut it.

And fix the cause/circumstances also:
-Get a dehumidifier for inside.
-My whole neighborhood has a rash of green mildew. It's on everything. White fences, siding, sidewalks, concrete, everything. Too much power washing and maintenance every year. I'm going to try and start using Bleach-Free, No Scrub Mold & Mildew, Moss & Algae Cleaner | Wet & Forget and see how it goes. Needs to be diluted and sprayed and sit for a week to work best. It will harm plants.

You need to run an ozone generator.
5K mg/h for $80. https://www.amazon.com/ozone-generator/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aozone%20generato r
Or 20K mg/h for $100. 10,000 mg/h Ozone Generator $45.99 | Ozone Generator | Water - Oil Ozonators
Ozone will eventually screw up leather and plastic and more.
I would go with the lesser treatments and use only as necessary.
Let it marinade for 24 hours at least.
Do not breathe.

Yeah, bleach. Dilute so you don't fade the colors, but that'll kill it. Then something to make it smell pretty. You choose that - Pine Sol, Lavender soap, pit grease... whatever lifts your skirt.

Step 1 - Replace interior
Step 2 - sell car

Maybe Step 2 should be step 1...

Thanks for the replies.

Move the car to Phoenix, AZ and park in the sun for a summer. Sell it then with no mold smell.
