What Causes Mold in the Engine Compartment of a New Car?

[DeClayton]

Mold in the car is caused by prolonged lack of ventilation or excessively humid conditions, leading to the growth of mildew. Treatment Methods: Interior components such as seats, carpets, and door panels are more prone to mold. When mold appears on interior parts, start by wiping them down or using a vacuum cleaner for initial surface cleaning. Then, use a specialized automotive interior cleaner for thorough cleaning. For leather interiors, it's best to use neutral or alkaline cleaners to avoid damaging the leather. Allow the parts to air dry naturally, or use the car's heating mode to speed up the drying process. Precautions: If the car is not used frequently, activate the heating mode of the air conditioning before parking to dry out the air conditioning ducts and interior moisture, preventing excessive humidity that could lead to mold. Place activated bamboo charcoal in the car to absorb moisture and harmful substances, helping to regulate the interior humidity.
