How to Quickly Dry the Wet Sponge Under the Car?

First, when the liquid has not completely soaked in, use items like paper towels or towels to quickly wipe away the excess moisture. Then, if the liquid has not soaked in too much, consider using a hairdryer to blow it dry after heating. Afterwards, when no one is in the car, place a desiccant on the seat surface, but avoid using quicklime as the desiccant to prevent unnecessary trouble caused by heat generation when encountering water. If it is summer, you can consider parking the car under the sun and then covering the seat with black canvas to absorb heat and raise the seat temperature.

If there's water under the car's sponge padding, it needs to be dealt with immediately to prevent mold and odors. I usually start by laying down several thick dry towels and pressing hard to absorb the water, repeating the process a few times to remove surface moisture. Then, open all the doors and the trunk, using a fan or a hairdryer on a low setting to promote ventilation—avoid high heat to prevent damaging the sponge. If there's a lot of water, consider using a car vacuum or renting a professional water extractor. It's also important to check where the water is coming from, such as aging door seals or windows not fully closed during rain. After dealing with the water, placing bamboo charcoal bags or desiccants in the car can help absorb moisture and prevent mold. Regularly check to ensure everything is completely dry. When driving, be careful not to let water seep in again.

If you find the sponge under your car is wet, don't delay. The longer you wait, the more likely it is to cause rust and corrosion to the car body. I immediately use dry towels or old clothes to absorb as much water as possible, replacing them multiple times until no obvious wetness remains. Then, I park the car in a cool, ventilated area, leaving the windows open for at least half a day to accelerate air circulation. To speed up the process, I sometimes use a small fan to assist with airflow, but I avoid high-temperature drying. If there's too much water and it's hard to absorb completely, I simply go to an auto repair shop to borrow an industrial dehumidifier to get it done within an hour. At the same time, I check for the cause of the leak—it might be due to a clogged air conditioning drain pipe or damaged sealing strips allowing water to enter. After handling the issue, I place a waterproof mat underneath as a preventive measure and check after every car wash to ensure dryness and protect the vehicle's lifespan.

Simple and efficient way to deal with water accumulation under car seats: First, I use the strong suction mode of a vacuum cleaner to remove as much water as possible. If unavailable, manually press and absorb with a towel. Then, open the car windows for ventilation for several hours to allow natural air drying. It's recommended not to use air conditioning cooling to avoid condensing more moisture. Check for leakage points such as door seams or floor joints and repair them promptly. Finally, place a dehumidifier box in the car to absorb residual moisture, preventing bacterial growth and health impacts. The entire process is easy and time-saving but ensures thorough drying.
