i went out to the mini today because ive finished my garage. Its stored in a garage which isnt too damp really. everythings been fine on i, but about 2 or 3 weeks ago i fitted a back seat that i retrimmed from another car. The other car had mould in it though, but i cleaned all the back seat material with soap and water and it looked clean like new. Since putting it in, and leaving it for the few weeks its had the window open just slightly, the mould has come back, and has taken over the inside of my car :(

I put an ice cream tub full of salt in my car (with a holey lid) and it has helped a bit. The roof lining is a little mouldy but the glass doesn't mist up like it used to anymore. Plus it's cheap! On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

your best bet is to leave the windows open also try the salt in a box or better still try and get some silica gel bags a put them in that will get rid of the damp! Edited by minimadsheff on 28th Mar, 2007. 70 mph oil feed pipe pop!!!!! |

I had a mould problem. Once the car was dry I used some fungicide dad has for his plants. I tested it on a hidden section first then just sprayed it on all the mould, end of problem. |

Ha ha ha ha! No I laughed at that. Someone I knew once was called Mike Mould (it was spelt different but pronounced the same), he was a fungi. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

my local cash and carry does packets of silica gel, but its not cheap though unlike the salt idea. Might be worth a look locally if all else fails. I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

must resist argument lmao !!! Steve i have to disagree with ya ref the windows bud.... when i had the lotus, i had to leave the windows down to allow the air to circulate through the car, otherwise the damp air trapped inside stagnates and creates spores good buddy, mind windows down in the wettest garage in the world is no good ! however in ure garage steve this would be perfect :):):) this is just my own opinion, and past experience i never used the salt trick so maybe windows up n shed loads of salt has the same effect.
