    Default Moldy upholstry

    Just wanted to know if it's possible to 'successfully' remove a large infestations of mold from the interior of a car or if I'm going to need a completely new interior. The rear window rubber leaked and there has been a pool of water in the car for a few weeks, so the mold is fairly extensive (car was outside waiting for an engine transplant).

    Carpet will be replaced, but there is lots of mold on the roof liner, seatbelts, and in the seat foam.
    Was thinking of taking it to a detailer but not sure if it's too far gone.

    Thanks
    I.

    Take it to a detailers to get the job done right. You will definitely be able to get it out.

    Mould is as easy to kill as it is to have it grow.

    Seats can be pulled appart and all items washed with chemicals before being washed clean.
