Can Moldy Car Interiors Be Restored?
1 Answers
Moldy car interiors can be restored, but it is difficult to restore them to their original condition. Leather mold usually occurs due to being placed in a poorly ventilated area or because of water damage. Methods for removing mold from the car interior: Common methods for disinfecting the car interior include ozone disinfection and photocatalytic sterilization. Ozone disinfection is generally simple to operate and inexpensive, and many car cleaning services offer this service for free. Photocatalysis is much more expensive but provides more effective disinfection and sterilization. Methods for removing mold from the air conditioning system: After rain, the air conditioning vents often emit a musty smell. To eliminate this odor, a simple method is to turn the air conditioning heating to the maximum and cycle through all the vent modes for about 15 minutes. When the air conditioning is operating, the temperature at the vents can reach 40°C to 50°C, which helps evaporate the damp, warm air inside and remove the musty smell.
