Does anyone have any suggestions as how/what to use to clean interior on a car that has been stored and has some mold on the interior. Thanks. Charlie

Besides an exorcism?

I like Swissvax leather cleaner and conditioners--brings back the leather smell

As for the mold, where is it? On the carpet or on the leather?

This is a super blog. I did this to my 996tt and then to some leather interior furniture. I had great results.

Thumbs up clean interior

Thanks guys- it was primarily on the leather - car was stored in a garage and covered. The climate control was not working properly in the garage but now have it fixed. Once it is cleaned there should be no future problem. I appreciate your response. Charlie

Had this problem in my truck due to leaking rear window. Has full leather and not used often.
I used a mixture of Vinegar and water (spray let sit), wiped clean with a mixture of dawn soap and water and followed up with my favorite conditioner.
Worked great !
I have done this multiple times and has never harmed the leather.

Just joined this community! Thanks for good information discussed on Mold removal. Mold grows really easily in dark and damp corners. Being around them puts health security at risk. Since mold is a fungus, it produces spores to reproduce these spores can damage your health & occur many diseases, That's why mold removal is important but if you live in Coral Gables, FL it should be done by a professional Coral Gables mold removal specialist because if you gonna remove it yourself probably will grow again and again this is what I had experienced earlier in my house.

Steamers have worked really well in the past for me. Home depot sells a small unit that's great for auto interiors.

hi
it is recommended that you hire a professional mold removal specialist since if you remove it yourself, it will most likely come back, as I had previously experienced in my home. real estate istanbul

You need to get rid of them fast before they can cause allergic reactions or health problems and serious damage to your car’s interior.

Noticed some unpleasant-smelling, unsightly mold on your leather car seats?

Actually I would be taking care of the trash removal like the furniture. I had another contractor give a bid for the actual mold removal. Beyond my scope. It's been all this time and they still have not made a decision on the mold or trash removal.
The only thing is that I gave them the proposal and put in it that because of the conditions, the amount is only good for 10 days and goes up every week.
