How to Remove Mold from Car Seats?
2 Answers
After using specialized mold removers, proceed with repairs to restore the original appearance. In fact, seat maintenance should start from daily care. If mold adheres to the leather for a long time, it can damage the leather. Especially when the seats get wet, they must be wiped immediately and dried in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold growth.
I learned a lot of mold removal tips when repairing cars before. Don’t panic if your car seats get moldy—try this simple method first: mix white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio in a spray bottle, spray it on, wait 10 minutes, and wipe it off with a soft cloth. The mold will come off easily. For stubborn mold spots, you can add some baking soda to make a paste, apply it, scrub gently, and then wipe clean. Afterward, remember to take your car out to get some sunlight and ventilate it to kill any remaining mold spores. Prevention is key—don’t close your car doors and windows tightly on rainy days, place some desiccants or bamboo charcoal bags to absorb moisture, especially in the gaps of the seats, and regularly clean out dust. This way, mold will be less likely to appear. It’s cost-effective, hassle-free, and works well.
