Title: Mould On Upholstery
Post by: Stokie Mac on 22 March 2012, 13:50
Has anyone ever got Mould off their Car Seats??..
Thinking about swapping mine but the ones i looked at had White & Green Mould Spots/Stains on them..
Is there anyway i can get Rid Of it & Stop it from Coming back??..
Also will they smell or can you treat that too??..

Cheers..

As above, needs a wet vac running over it,In these situations plus I've had this on my audi  I used brisk low foam and 2/3 capfuls of zoflora antibac,very effective at killing bacteria and leaves a nice fragrance whilst drying.

well it still stands, if they are damp enough to be mouldy, you need to get them dried out before starting to CLEAN them

clean them as much as you like with a Wet vac. but it wont FULLY dry them.  thus the mold will return if you havent dried them out properly 

get the seats out in the sun this weekend to fully dry them out, then clean them, then keep them inside.
