How to Deal with Waterlogged Car Floor Sponge?

[LeCorbin]

First, remove all detachable parts inside the car and wipe them dry with a cloth. Place them in a ventilated area to air dry. Use absorbent cotton to soak up any remaining moisture on the floor. Place some desiccants in the dark corners of the car to prevent mold growth. Open the car doors. Park the car in a ventilated area. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any remaining dirt.

That day my car also had the floor sponge soaked with water. I directly pulled out the sponge mat, rinsed off the stains with water, and then used a dry towel to absorb the moisture. After that, I placed it on the balcony to dry for a few days to ensure it was completely dry and avoid mold. At the same time, I checked the car body for water leakage points, which might be due to aging door seals or the sunroof not being closed tightly. I used a hair dryer to assist in drying the car floor and also sprayed some mold inhibitor. It's important to always close the car windows when parking, and don't forget to check and clear the sunroof drainage holes when it rains. Prolonged water accumulation can cause the car floor to rust, leading to more trouble. Timely treatment will prevent any odor issues.
