How can I remove the bad odor in my car that accidentally sank in the flood?
If your car was flooded toss the old carpets. Period! Most new cars have up to 4″ of foam on the carpet backs and the carpet them selves are coated with a water proof backing so anything you do on the surface will not get to the real problem below (the foam). The carpet layer it self will appear dry while in fact it is only trapping the moisture underneath. Also, many new cars have a fire-wall insulation that is installed prior to many of the dash components. This can be a real issue as it can not be removed without pulling the entire dash and many of the ducting/steering and electrical components. Depending on the vehicle this may be cause for your insurance company to total your vehicle. If it is just carpet or seats spend the money on a good used carpet or go a little deeper and buy new OEM, Odds are that your Insurance company will cover the cost as it is a serious problem and one that can have serious health risks with the Mold.
