Was going to recommend seeing a Dr but then I saw you were talking about your car

Looks like some of the cars here in Hurricane Harvey! My brother in law is a wrecker drivers some of those had so much fluff in them he would not even open the doors!

My wife and I inherited her father's '03 Ford Taurus (with 20K on it) when he passed in '13. It was garaged in FL and looked like post #1. My wife cleaned it up with white vinegar and the mold has never returned, even here in SC. My wife used painter's masks when she did it (see Joe's Garage recommendation).
These posts are all great solutions and advice. My GTO needs some bags mentioned in post #14. Any advice?

My car definitely had loads of Armour All and Super Seal put on the seats since new. I recall not being able to stay in the seat without my belt when my brother owned it...8 tracks of the the Eagles playing!!
The carpet I'm going to toss and replace. My garage is heated and cooled (integral). Likely when I open the door in the summer and everything condensates, my chrome wheels fog over, is the source of the moisture. With all that has gone on in the back of this car who knows what is growing! Putting it in the sun isn't an option till I get the drive line together and back in.My driveway is a ski slope with the door on the north face of the house. Headliner is new in a box still so that won't be any further damage. I'll get it cleaned up and hope it doesn't come back, something that will kill it and an unfriendly environment for it to regrow in will be the ideal remedy. There is a hole in the floor open because the manual trans shifter and boot are out right now. This car has been indoor stored its whole life. Doesn't stink or smell bad inside. Thanks for all the input. I have to real animal pet birds too, no fungi on them! Last edited by STEELCITYFIREBIRD; 02-21-2019 at 02:06 PM. |

This may be a viable option for moisture control |

My wife uses these on the shower stall to get rid of mold when it appears. works well, Clorox wipes. Also used them on the "moldy" Taurus as a maintenance thing.
Have also used damp rid containers in my Studebaker before I sold it. Damp rid worked well, still have to be conscientious about emptying the water the container collects and adding fresh damp rid to the desiccant container.

My wife’s ‘14 Camaro convertible does the same thing. I keep a can of Lysol in the car and run it regularly with the heater on to control the humidity in the interior.

Throw one of these in there. I use 'em in my gun safes and they work great and cheap.! https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-...25RV8R13FQMYJ3
