Have anyone got any tips for removing mold from carpets and fabrics or is it a pull out and bin job?

How bad is it? White or black? The white fluffy stuff you can just wipe off with a damp cloth, for the harder stuff you can try stain remover foams and a stiff brush.

Where abouts is it? In the car? If you can take that particular carpet out, do so, spray foam on it as I mentioned before, and rub it in with a damp cloth, then leave it to dry or dry it with a hairdryer etc.

Trial and error seems to be the way forward at times :)

Might be worth getting a quote as you may spend at least half that on autoglymm.

Wow, either you've left the car standing for a while or you need to keep the missus away from the beans
