Brilio.net - Car glass is an important component that affects visibility while driving. Dirt or mold that sticks to the glass can interfere with driving comfort and safety. Mold on car glass is often a common problem for vehicle owners. Usually, mold growth is caused by high humidity inside the car, which can occur due to leaks in the roof or glass, allowing rainwater to enter and keep the glass surface wet.
These humid conditions create an ideal environment for mold to thrive. The impact of mold growth is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also potentially hazardous to health. Mold can produce spores that are inhaled by passengers, causing respiratory irritation, especially for those who are sensitive to allergens. In addition, mold can damage glass surfaces, making them dull and difficult to clean.
To solve this problem, the fungus on the car window must be removed immediately. No need for complicated or expensive methods, with a capital of around Rp. 4,000, fungus stains can be removed as done by YouTube user Zoel M Kreatif. Zoel shares a simple and inexpensive trick to effectively clean fungus from car windows.
With the right method, car windows can be clean again and driving visibility is maintained. Using affordable and easily accessible methods can be a practical solution to maintaining cleanliness and health while driving.

The method is, simply mix a little citric acid and dish soap in one container. After that, dissolve it with enough clean water. If so, transfer it into a spray bottle or mineral water bottle with a hole in the lid.
Next, spray this liquid directly onto the moldy car glass surface. After that, rub it using a brush so that the mold falls off even more. Once rubbed, let it sit for about 1 minute. Don't let it sit for too long, okay?

If it has been left alone, then rinse it using clean water. After that, wipe it using a clean cloth until it is completely dry. Usually the car glass will look shiny after the surface is completely dry. However, if the fungus is still there, you can repeat the process several times until the fungus stains are gone.
