What is something GOOD that cleans/gets-rid-of mold besides bleach?

The windows in my ds car were left down when it rained, then got rolled up. With all this heat....well...the heat and the moisture were a perfect recipe for mold. We need something that will clean it out of the seats. Right now we are drying it out with towels and blowing fans into it, and sucking up as much moisture as we can with the shop vac.

Any good ideas??? TIA! :D
It's pretty awful!!! :oops:

vinegar--dry it out, but then spray the surface with vinegar.

It's funny that you both mentioned using vinegar. It's the first thing dh mentioned, too. We are drying it out now, and tried to remove as much loose mold as possible.

YUK!

I found a nice article on it here - a couple of tips -

1. scrub with detergent-water & a brush before spraying with the vinegar.
2. I liked the hairdryer tip for stubborn areas of mold- that might be a help for you with the car.
