    Cleaning carpet mold

    I had a leaking sunroof in the Peugeot and found a temporary fix with some duct tape. Also tested all the drains so I pinpointed the faulty, and torn sunroof seal, which is in-op anyways.

    Now in the meantime, these is a little bit of mold growing in the passenger front carpet. How should I go about combating this? Would like to clean it all up before I leave in a few days.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    thanks,
    Sina

      Haha took the Peugeot out tonight for going to a concert with some friends.
      Everyone was sneezing and coughing in the car.

        I'm going to be tackling the mold in my car tomorrow
        I plan on Oxy-Clean and Vinegar in a spray bottle. Vinegar to kill the mold, oxyclean + carpet cleaner to clean it up

              You need to kill mold and mildew and prevent regrowth with enzymes. You can find mold/mildew enzyme cleaners at a variety of stores, including Fred Meyer.

                In order to get rid of mold and mildew from your carpets,

                it is easy to apply colourless remedy of hydrogen chloride acid is among the most best ways to get rid of mould and prevent the odours. However, colourless alternative of hydrogen chloride acid could be risky and also could damage lots of areas like wood flooring. You should try out natural solutions first. If you've experimented with the white vinegar and lime yet the mould continues coming back use some colourless remedy of hydrogen chloride acid. Make sure you're using safety hand protection, safety glasses plus a respirator when performing this. If you’re issue is severe enough that you need to use colourless solution of hydrogen chloride acid, I recommend getting in touch with a professional cleaning experts.

                Hope it helps

                  Careful with the hardwood in the passenger footwell. I'd hate to see that get damaged.

                        Took longer than expected for me to start the interior cleanup, but vinegar + Oxy clean worked pretty well today. Got the mold out and most of the stains when I washed it all up

                        As for if it'll come back, I'll keep you posted
