hi all i bought an rs2000 4x4 thats been standing for 2yrs+ an the interior has mould over it whats the best way to clean it off?

does it need steaming? or are there any good cleaning products to use ow yeah it also smells terrible!lol so any product gotta smell gooooooood!

cheers guys....

 

bucket of soapy water scrubing brush for carpets... something softer for leather and plastics then make sure it can dry properly!! garage with a heater would be good!

 

Do not use a scrubbing brush on cloth seats, you will matt the fabric

Whereas the mould is concerned give the seats a very good hoovering over first, and then use a wet & dry vacuum cleaner ( You can rent these from tool shops ) and buy an upholstery cleaner for wet vacs. Use one like Autogylm's for example, mix it to the right quantity of dilution and proceed to clean the seats. If you spray the upholstery cleaner onto the whole seat and then leave it for 5 minutes, then go back and spray more then suck it out you will remove all the mould and the smell. This time of year isnt ideal for cleaning seats as you need somewhere warm for them to dry, but if you can leave your engine running with your heaters on full blast for a bit then you should be ok, the idea is to clean them and then remove as much moisture as you can otherwise it doesnt really work, you end up with damp seats that then smell again

Hope this helps.

not for seats, theres no such thing as a scrubbing brush for seats because of the damage it could do, hence why wet vacs have a metal blunt strip across the suction part for you to work the soap into the seat.

 

thanks guys!!! i know this time of years no good but its gotta be done! an it is all cloth so no scrubbin for me!lol
