Brilio.net - For some people, maintaining a car is not easy. In some cases, this car can become a nest of bacteria and full of mold if left in damp conditions. This condition often occurs in cars that are exposed to high humidity, such as after rain or when the car windows are not tight. Mold can thrive on interior materials such as seats, carpets, or door panels that have poor humidity and air circulation.
The problem is, mold in the car interior is not only difficult to clean, but also has the potential to damage the material. Mold stains can leave permanent marks on fabric or leather surfaces, making the interior look dull. In addition, inhaled mold spores can trigger allergies or respiratory problems, especially for those who are sensitive to air quality.
Dealing with mold on a car interior requires a combination of the right cleaning agents and careful techniques. If this happens, some people will usually take it straight to a car wash to remove the mold. But there are also those who even immediately replace the car interior with a new one.
In fact, these mold stains can be easily overcome. A Facebook user, Fitri Rahmawati, once shared a simple trick in removing mold stains on the interior of a car. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted that she only relied on one simple ingredient.

As reported by brilio.net from Facebook Fitri Rahmawati on Friday (10/1), the simple ingredients in question are dish soap and liquid bleach. So in a container, immediately put dish soap and 1 bottle cap of liquid bleach. After that, stir the two ingredients until they are completely mixed evenly.

Once done, apply the liquid directly to the moldy car interior. You can use an old toothbrush to apply and scrub the car interior. Do this process until the mold stains just disappear.

After scrubbing with a brush, immediately wipe with a damp cloth. You can use warm water to rinse the interior of this car. In addition to helping to remove soap residue, this is also effective in killing remaining mold that is still attached.

Next, immediately dry the car interior first. Make sure the inside of the car is completely dry to prevent mold from growing again. That way, the car will be more comfortable to use later.
