Removing Mould From Interior Trim

[Missileman]

Have a Skyline that was stored for over 12 months and now the interior is covered in mould, can someone recommend a cleaning agent that will not harm the trim/ vinyl/ leather ?

Cheers,

Mike.

steam clean

Umm not sure I have a steam cleaner out the back, are there any other options?

[noone]

wipe over with white vinegar then straight water on a microfibre to remove the vinegar doubt it would really matter but better safe than sorry

probably do small inconspicuous area first if in doubt an treat any leather straight away with a leather cream after dont allow it to dry out

Thanks mate, I'll give that a try.

Noone and dori34 are correct.

Ignore any advice that recommends cleaners with bleach, which is likely to leave marks.

The spores will blossom again and can cause serious health issues

use a steam cleaner with a bit of WHITE vinegar

h2O and pure clove oil ( just a few drops in a big bucket !!) it kills spores to stop spreading then let sit out in the sun to bake off stink of douche and cloves haha

Remember just a few drops to be safe on seats and dont spill it in the car or it will never go away in the heat, towels blotting the seats dry the best you can

a toothbrush is helpful in seams but use care on the pressure you apply to keep the nap from showing abrasion

baking SODA not powder sprinkled on afterwards while its closed up to capture fumes in carpets etc Do not apply while wet or you will be getting crust off works on any musty smells in the house like shoes too :-) coles sells it for a couple of bucks near the cake decorating stuff

May I also add that the above process should be done on a day of low humidity, followed by more days of the same?

May I presume that any leaks in the storage garage or car mouldings that contributed to the mould or faulty heater core have been rectified?
