    I think a window visor would have prevented the water intrusion if open only for about 3mm. I am guessing the car has no window visor?

    This might help...get an electric extension cord and plugged a UVC lamp..Turn on the Blower and set the UVC Lamp for 30mins. Ensure all windows are closed and fresh air intake Louvre in closed position..Leave it for a couple of hours. For Sure all Fungi bacteria colonies will be gone. The UVC rays and Ozone will kill them all. Ventilate it before you need to use your cars. Maganda expose mo din sa UVC ang trunk.

    Effective yan and tried it sa mga cars ko warning lang need mo alisin muna mga car perfume/freshener kase na deactivate nya yun smell.

    Thank you for your suggestion. I already have this one:



    I will use it next time I come back home. It seems like that there's little to no smell at all, the last time I used the car. I'll surely know it next week.

    it probably helps.

    when the hot car is bathed in rain, the resulting lower temperature inside creates lower pressure inside, and tends to suck in rain water thru slightly-open windows.

    I just used Gtechniq I2 to get rid of these pesky molds for good.

    The molds in this car usually appear during the rainy season. I sprayed I2 on the carpets and wiped all the surfaces inside the cabin.

    Sweaty hands can leave a lot nasty bacteria inside your car's cabin. Always ask passengers to sanitize their hands before getting inside the car What A Big Mess!20201114_085245.jpg20201114_085255.jpg

    I also use this steam deo for peace of mind with keeping the A/C free of fungus and nasty stuff that can make people sneeze inside the car.

    Also I require everyone to wear masks before getting inside the car. I will likely keep this practice post pandemic What A Big Mess!screenshot_20210614-200059_lazada.jpg

    Ordinary baking soda is good enough for getting rid of nasty smell, but will not disinfect the carpets. Eventually molds will be back during the rainy season.

    A thorough carpet detailing will be needed to get rid of those gremlins.

    I find dehumidifier like those found at blade and ace hardware ineffective. Sprinkling some baking soda and sucking these with a vacuum cleaner every week is more effective at least in my experience.
