What A Big Mess!

Grab a set of these...

Archerfish, guess what? I had a big mess as well. My dad left the windows of his crv slightly open and there was a sudden downpour of heavy rain last Sunday lunchtime. My dad didn't bother with how to clean up the mess.

And this is what I did. I sprinkled a very generous amount of baking soda all over the carpet!

With that kind of mess, I now feel fortunate with what happened to me.

i am now curious,
how do you intend to clean it up?

had this wet-carpet syndrome happened to my car,
i would have probably poured a generous amount of ordinary alcohol into the carpetings,
then parked the car sideways at an incline, under the hot sun, windows (and doors if possible) open, to dry.
basahanin yung tagiliran from time to time, to drain dry the collected liquid.

but i do hope i wouldn't have to try it...
heh heh.

My first time to have a garage queen, as a backup to our new but for reliability observation, Ford territory. I would have sold this immediately if I bought a reliable jap brand hehe...

All our rides have covered garage. No street parking for me.

Drive our rides around the village for about 4km daily with our youngest kid, doubling as bonding time.

Keep a pack of charcoal inside the vehicles.

Maintain tyre pressure 1-2 psi above recommended.

Full charge the batteries every 3-4 months

Uh-oh, drive all your rides daily!, I guess it takes you almost half day to do that, but I guess if your garage is like a big parking lot with all parallel parked, madali lang [emoji4]

Just use a dry/wet vacuum cleaner it should be fine. It's no different with house carpet cleaning.
