My Saab convertible has been standing for six weeks, sadly outside, and has managed to get pretty damp. I got in this morning and there is mould already growing - green on the door cards and white on the seat belts and leather seats.
Other than attacking it with household mildew killer and trying to keep it dry, any suggestions for a quick effective way to at least arrest the problem, and ideally reverse it?

Hi, the most effective I've been told and works is to dampen a rag with petrol and wipe it over the surface and it will just disappear. You can use sterilising fluids and sprays and it will remove it but it will return after a while, with petrol it won't return because it kills the spores. You can then use ordinary scented cleaners for a more pleasant smell if you overdo it with the petrol. Don't forget to feed and treat the leather afterwards.

I have some disposable dehumidifier things from Asda, cheap as chips and has stopped the build up of condensation in my unused cars.

Hi, A margarine tub with rice or salt in the car will also soak up the dampness in the air, when it's saturated just nuke it in the microwave and replace it in the car.

I've got to go shopping tonight, so I'll start with a big bag of rice. The problem is with a convertible is it is never really watertight so you're in danger of trying to dehumidify the world!!
