Get a big bag of rice and leave your car in there for a week, should be good after that. Maybe some air freshener too to really seal the deal
white distilled vinegar use baking soda and a wet/dry shop vac to suck it all up.

Divorce, otherwise steam clean your carpets with a commercial rental steamer and hope you don't have to replace them. Sorry bud, you're fucked.

thats not gonna kill or remove the mildew.

Why do you want him to make a fucking volcano in his car

If you completely submerge the car in the rice and seal the bag, should asphyxiate the mildew.

For the water- go to walmart and get one of those air water collectors. Damp rid is a good one I think. It will gather all the water and keep it in a bag for you to dispose of.
For the smell-Ozium works the best.

There is no reason to use a desiccant unless he can't just leave his windows open.

you dont mix them at the same time.
you kill the mildew with vinegar.
the baking soda has two effects, one it turn the vinegar into water and co2 which gets rid of the smell, and 2 it acts as a mild abrasive to get rid of the mildew
then use a shop vac to suck it up.

The answer was in a past detailing thread which the troll posters pushed off page 10. I barely remember any of the details, but there was something like step by step for someone who had smelly seats. The thread below is similar but the other thread described taking the seat out, using a wet-dry-vac on the top side of the fabric, then applying liquid on the bottom. The seat is on its side of course. The liquid is sucked thru the material and thus carries away the bacteria, mold, and smelly proteins they made. The home chemicals used were listed, but don't remember.

Ahh, looking at the thread, it is alcohol. The 91% they sell at sam's club was the example. It was used first because alcohol in that concentration denatured the protein bonds so that they didn't stick as hard to the material. Then cleaning liquid (soapy solution i guess) is used to carry out the loosened bodies of bacteria, mold, and protein byproducts that smelled. Can't find that other thread. Darn the trollers that keep shoving threads with info away.

>you kill the mildew with vinegar.
Acetic acid is the active ingredient in vinegar and really shouldn't be used on porous materials but on hard surfaces.
