Mould!

I've been away for the week and have arrived home to find mould on parts of my boot floor:mad:

I was golfing the day before I left, my gear was kind of wet after the round and I think that's what introduced the damp into the boot.

I've taken the boot floor out and wiped it down with paper towels. It's taken all the visible mould off. Even though I can't really feel any damp, I'm going to leave it in the sitting room tonight and let it dry out fully as there's a good fire going.

Should I do anything else to clean it fully? Quick once over with a disinfectant or diluted APC? Want to get rid of it 100%.

Thanks.

Quick once over with an upholstery cleaner should be enough - cant imagine its too bad?
APC would work too, but you could be left with a lot of solution in the material.

In the recent past I've had to deal with mould on the seat belts of a car that had been parked up for a while.

The solution?

Yes, the one that you use to sterilise baby bottles, etc. in.

Worked a treat and is widely available from all the big supermarkets and pharmacies for about €4 per 500ml bottle.

I've had to deal with mould a few times and my usual cure is wash with dilute APC or even Flash. After the fabric has dried, I usually give it a very light mist of an anti-bacterial spray to kill the mould spores. Just watch the anti-bacterial spray. Some contain bleach (avoid them) and some can mark/stain the fabric. Try it on an inconspicuous piece of fabric first.

Use a mild detergent or APC and a 1% bleach solution.
