Stuffy / Mildewy smell in car
« on: 06 November 2013, 10:11 »
Morning,

I've recently picked up a mk4 golf, and the previous owner had it (badly) valeted before i collected it.  Unfortunately the seats were slightly (only slightly) damp when i collected it, and the cool weather recently hasn't given it chance to properly dry out.

Now im left with an unpleasant odour in the car  :cry: which im hoping some people on here will have ideas / products which are great at ridding the car of the mouldy wet smell.

Any clues?

Shampoo all seats and carpets, headlining etc, with a Wet Vac machine.

Then get an Air Conditioning Odour Killer through the vents.

All should be pretty fresh then!
