Mildew / Mould:
Dirt and moisture are essential to mildew propagation, Remove the seats and thoroughly clean the carpet with a carpet cleaner/extractor and a disinfectant. 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 an extractorâ€â„¢s upholstery attachment, and then re-install the seats.
Methodology
·To eliminate the bacteria that creates mildew use a medium soft brush and a 4:1 solution distilled water / Ammonia and then rinse with cool clean water
·For tough stains use a mixture of one (1 tspn) teaspoon Ammonia / quarter (0.25) cup Hydrogen Peroxide / three (0.75) cup distilled water and then rinse with cool clean water
·Once fabric is thoroughly dry apply a fabric protection (303TM High Tech Fabric Guard)
·Change the cabin air filter (s)
·Clean the headliner as this also â€Ëœtrapsâ€â„¢ the smell from mould.
·Finally use an air sanitizer/freshener (Lysol Neutra Air®) that quickly removes odours from the air.
To eliminate the musty smell use an odour-neutralizing mineral made from porous volcanic rock (Elite®). 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, or lightly dust carpets with baking soda. Spray with an air neutralising disinfectant (Lysol Neutra Air®) that is non-toxic, non-allergenic, fast acting without a cover up scent or an offensive perfume smell
Like most interior detailing its very labour intensive so adjust your charges accordingly
