Mold in Car Stinks!You get used to mold in car smells but your passengers don't. In fact, mold in car exposure is associated with allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Mold and mildew both like excessive moisture and can grow on most any surface. The key to controlling mildew and mold in car carpeting is to prevent the buildup of excess water and allow water which does get into your vehicle to be easily removed. A paper towel can be used to soak up excess water or liquid. A hair dryer may be used to dry up small wet spots in carpeting or on seats. Borax or baking soda can be rubbed into carpeting and then vacuumed out to help remove bad smells.
But a better idea is to prevent water and other liquids from getting into your vehicles carpeting in the first place. All weather car mats supplemented with a universal absorbent floormat helps achieve this goal.
Of course, water, mold and mildew aren't your only enemies. Most gas stations are self serve today. The area around the gas pumps is usually dirty, oily and laced with spilled gas and antifreeze. A good car floormat prevents this smelly mess from getting on your cars carpeting but a universal absorbent floormat absorbs the gas, oil, water and other liquid and prevents them from staying on your shoes. This keeps mothers, wives, housekeepers and others from banning you from your own home and reduces the smells in your car. 
These universal absorbent floormats are easily removed and laundered.
