How to Get Rid of Mold Smell in a Car

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Tim Duke with Premier Detailing and I'm going to show you how to remove molds/mildew smells from a vehicle. First, what you want to do is you're going to want to spray it down, just kind of soak it with a nice Citrus-based Degreaser cleaner. What that does is it'll help soil start breakin' it down and lighten things up a bit. Just use a lot of agitation. I just got myself a nylon brush here. Just use a lot of agitation, different patterns, up and down, circular motion and then use a white towel and you can want to buff over it so you can see what you're actually removing here. See, that's what we've gotten out so far just with the Citrus-based Degreaser, just that much. And then we're going to go over with an enzyme-based cleaner and what that does is it'll help break down the mold or mildews, just kind of base elements that can be vacuumed up. That's also will get rid of the smell as well. So, just more agitation, heavy agitation then just go over with the clean part of the towel again so you kind of see what work we're doin', what progress we're makin'. And there you are again, same sort of thing, dirt's been lifted into the towel itself and so that's what we've got. And that's just once you just want to let your windows stay down a little bit and let things dry, once it's dry vacuum it over a couple more times just to make sure you're pulling everything out then after that you should be good and if there's any further mildew or mold smell, continue the process repeatedly."
