Crap, looks like i had some water seeping into my car over the last few weeks.
Removed the cover this morning to get my toolbox and the whole interior is covered with mold. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Anyone here have any experience with cleaning this mess? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

If it's on carpet & upholstery, you can use Folex - sold in quart spray bottles & 1 gal at Home Depot, etc. - or order it from Waxie in Santa Ana CA. It's great for cleaning anything else off of carpet/upholstery/fabric.
The bleach solution is the only mold killer, but then it also eats &/or bleaches stuff - so use caution with that on body parts, & I wouldn't advise it on any carpet/fabrics. If you dry it & keep it dry after the Folex, then you shouldn't have a problem. I used Folex to detail the fabric upholstery in our 88 Westy after 25+ years with kids & camping spills, some of which had some mold resulting, & it's stayed gone for 3_ years now. Good Luck!
