Brilio.net - Car glass is an important component because it affects visibility (sight distance) when driving. If there is dirt or even mold stuck to the glass, it will certainly interfere with driving comfort. Indeed, dirt, especially mold, is often a problem experienced by motor vehicle owners, such as cars.
In general, mold growth on car windows can be caused by high humidity in the car. High humidity can also be caused by leaks in the roof or car windows, which allow rainwater to enter the car and cause the glass surface to remain wet. These conditions can create an ideal environment for fungi to reproduce.
The impact of mold growth on car windows is not only an aesthetic problem, but can also have an impact on health. Mold can produce spores that are inhaled by car passengers and can cause respiratory tract irritation, especially in individuals who are sensitive to allergens. Apart from that, mold can also damage the surface of the glass, making it look dull and difficult to clean.
To overcome this, the mold on the car window must be removed immediately. It doesn't need to be complicated or expensive, you only need to prepare capital of IDR 4,000 to remove mold stains on car windows like YouTube user Zoel M Creative did. This gentleman named Zoel admits that he has his own tricks for removing mold stains on car windows easily and cheaply.
How to clean mold stains on car windows.
As reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (17/4), he used the Rp. 4,000 capital to buy two simple ingredients, namely dish soap and citrus. For one 105 ml sachet of packaged dishwashing soap (the kitchen ingredient in question), you can buy it for IDR 2,000. Meanwhile, 1 sachet of citrus can be purchased for IDR 2,000. So the total capital spent is only IDR 4,000.

To do this, just mix a little lemon and dish soap in one container. After that, dissolve it with enough clean water. If so, transfer it to a spray bottle or mineral water bottle with a hole in the lid.
Next, directly spray this liquid onto the surface of the moldy car window. After that, rub it using a brush so that the fungus falls out even more. If you have rubbed it, let it sit for about 1 minute. Don't leave it for too long, okay?

If you have let it sit, then rinse it using clean water. After that, wipe using a clean cloth until completely dry. Usually car windows will look shiny after the surface is completely dry. However, if the mold is still there, you can repeat the process several times until the mold stain disappears.

Tips so that car windows don't get moldy easily.
To prevent car windows from mold, you can follow these tips:
1. Keep the car interior clean.
Routinely clean the car interior from dust, dirt and food scraps which can be a source of nutrition for fungi.
2. Avoid humidity.
Make sure the car interior stays dry by keeping the humidity inside the car low. Use an air dryer or silica gel to absorb moisture.
3. Dry the carpet and upholstery.
If the carpet or car seat gets wet, immediately dry it in the sun to dry it and prevent mold growth.
4. Use an odor remover.
Use odor eliminators that are safe for use in cars, which can also help reduce moisture and mold growth.
5. Good ventilation.
Make sure the car has good ventilation by opening the windows slightly when parking to reduce humidity in the car.
6. Check the AC system.
Make sure the car's AC system is functioning properly, because a leaking or improperly functioning AC can increase humidity in the car.
7. Use anti-fungal glass coating.
Use a special glass coating that can protect car windows from mold growth.
8. Clean the glass regularly.
Clean car windows regularly with glass cleaner that contains anti-fungal ingredients.
9. Prevent water from entering the car.
Make sure there are no leaks in the roof or car window that could cause water to enter the car, as high humidity can trigger mold growth.
