I'm picking up this really cute vietnamese girl on the 4th, but my only car ('92 Buick Skylark) absolutely reeks of mold. It's hard to breathe in there, and the smell drives away even the staunchest of my comrades.

I need a way to kill the mold within the next three days... or at least mask the smell. It's either that or break a man law and ask her to pick me up instead. Or I let her suffocate in my car, which is probably not the best thing to do.

What's the best way to get rid of mold in one's car, helplife2.net?
 
Stick it up her bum

Sorry, that was spam
 
For starters, stuff a box of baking soda under each of the seats. I don't know how well that'd work though if you don't eliminate the source. But it absorbs smells.
 
first get any trash out of the car. You might want to vacuum now, as vacuuming stirs up smells that were dormant inside the vaccumm. Probably better to use a coin operated vacuum so you don't have this problem.

Next put some scented candles to burn in there safely somewhere - while the car is parked of course

let those fumes soak in. Very powerful mask


Now put down the windows

Use a bottle of febrese or something even better if you can find it. Try the auto section and look at the upholstery stuff. You might find something that kills bacteria and shit. Febrese does a great job if you can't find anything better. Generously apply to every square inch of the carpet and seats.


Your car should smell like ****ing candy and awesome
 
Or claim that the car is someone elses car... and when you both get in be like, "OH GOD WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR!?"

And then you'll both have something else in common.



Oh and just a tip, if you do overpower it with other smells... after they've had time to soak in and cling to everything, open the ****ing windows to air it out so it's not suffocating of that smell too. The overpowering smell of roses can sometimes be just as bad as the smell of garbage. Heh.
 
yeah, avoid using one of those air fresheners that you can smell from the outside of the car. You don't want that. Then it will just smell like shit and evergreens.

You should be good if you do what I said. Trust me, I leave my sunroof open or my windows cracked sometimes while it rained. ****ing stinks. I had to detox that shit many times.

This.
 
I'd probably just spray a shit-load of Febreeze and hope for the best.
 
you might want to find out if water is getting in through your windscreen/windshield, and maybe your dash. I try spraying a water and alcohol mix in your vents then turn it on. don't get it in your eyes of course.
 
If no leaks are apparent, there is a high probability moisture has collected in the ducts in your air conditioning/heater system.

Does your heater work? You could have a bad heater coil which could cause a leak and provide an excellent environment for mold.

A girl? I thought you were gay?
 
Gay men turn straight for cute little vietnamese girls. They're just so little you can play them however you want. It's awesome.

You have a massive fetish for Asian women. You just can't stop talking about them.
 
*sigh* I'm vietnamese. I hate vietnamese people.

But the good thing is if you meet her parents, I guarantee that they will try to feed you. And vietnamese food is good. The best vietnamese dish is Pho.
 
seriously though run your heater on high for about 10 min to get any moisture out of your ducts to make sure of that. then vacuum your carpets, get some small scented candles and just put them under your seats to just kinda always be there smelling. then I use this citrus smelling carpet spray cleaner from O'Reilys and brush it in good. then just let it all dry and should be smelling quite nice
 
Pull the carpet out of the car, and soak it in the bathtub for an hour. Then clean it as best you can with carpet cleaners. Let it dry for a day in the sun, and good to go.
 
Dont just mask it.
Clean it for the love of..
Shit, atheist >:|
 
Borrow car.

Tell her the truth, that your real car stinks like mold and you've been having problems with it forever.
 
how does a car get infested with mold? the smell is the least of your worries as that shit gets in your lungs which could lead to an infection or worse. Bleach or chlorine will get that out but then it'll smell like bleach ..just slap one of these stickers on it:

i think that's too much of a project for him....i mean, you are talking about taking out the seats, any kind of center console and pulling the carpet from the floor right? or am i wrong.....damn i think too much after i drink coffee

wtf? why does Hl2.net think it's 144 PM when i wrote that? is that hl2.net local time or my local time?
 
get a horse

it will be more romantic
 
All points considered...mmm


Or you could always get your ass off this forum, get outside and get cleaning!
:D
