A buddy of mine left his window open during Hurricane Charlie and now has a mildew musty smell in his car. what would be the best way to go about taking care of this the carpet and upolstry are now dry but the smell remains. Any ideas.
 
~ One man’s opinion / observations ~



Mildew / Mould:

Remove the seats and thoroughly clean the carpet with a carpet cleaner and a disinfectant. Then let it air dry, ensuring that it is completely dry.



The carpet backing will absorb the most, spray the affected areas with a disinfectant (both the carpet backing and the carpet) clean the carpet using steam extractors upholstery attachments, and then re-install the seats.



To eliminate the musty smell use an odour-neutralizing mineral made from porous volcanic rock (Zeolite®). This type of product absorbs odours, eliminates stale musty air, and will reduce any noxious oil or gasoline fumes. It is non-toxic and when it stops working can be re-charged by warming in a microwave or in the sun.



~Hope this helps ~
