How do you clean mold from a car interior?
I’ve got mold on the inside of my car, including my seats. I don't know how it got there, but it’s there and it’s gross. How do I clean this up?

“Mold happens! While it’s unpleasant, and quite frankly gross, with a little bit of elbow grease you can clean it up fairly easily. You’ll need the following supplies:
- A pair of gloves
- Distilled white vinegar
- A mask
- Eye protection
- A clean spray bottle
- A scrub brush
- Move your car into a well-ventilated area.
- Pour your vinegar into the spray bottle and don your protective gear.
- Make sure your eyes, nose, and skin are covered. Inhaling mold can make you sick.
- Find all the visible mold in your car and spray it down.
- Scrub away at the affected areas.
You may need to repeat this process, depending on how stubborn the mold is.
Once you’ve scrubbed away all the mold, let your car air dry.
Another way to take care of your car is by making sure you have the best price on your car insurance. Try using the
