What to Do If the Car Window Wasn't Closed Properly and Got Rained On?

[Terry]

Solutions for when the car window wasn't closed properly and got rained on: 1. Avoid using electronic devices inside the car to prevent short circuits; 2. Seats, floor mats, and carpets are the most affected—if rainwater has seeped into them, they need to be removed, cleaned, and thoroughly dried; 3. If there is standing water on the car floor or if moisture has penetrated beneath the floor covering, and a persistent musty smell remains after drying, it is necessary to visit a professional auto repair shop to remove the seats and floor covering for a thorough cleaning to eliminate the odor; 4. After addressing the water issue, perform a disinfection inside the car, typically using specialized disinfectants or alcohol, to prevent lingering odors.
