Removing mold?
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.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

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.

Re: Removing mold?
Ive been wondering the same thing. Exhibit A:



Caused by a leaky sunroof and rear window seal. Looks like ill be buying some autoglym too then. Need to get my gsi back on the road now cos I won't be parking the turbo outside my house anymore.

Wow that's a lot of mold most I've seen in a car, yeah I would say that needs a good valet.
