Subject: cleaning vinegar (non-sci)

Different websites disagree on how much to dilute cleaning vinegar for cleaning.

Depending on the website. Up to direct undiluted applied using a rag, through vinegar:water of 1:2, 1:3, 1:10 in a spray.

I need to get rid of mould growing on/in car seats. Cloth seats. I don’t care much about discoloration.

I’ve already tried drying the car out for a fortnight, which didn’t work.

What dilution of cleaning vinegar?

(The mould came from wet soil from a stormwater drain, which was left too long in the car leading to evaporation and condensation. The car got so damp that the steel within the seats started to rust).

Any strength you can stand breathing but it really doesn’t need a lot of vinegar to kill mould.

I live in a warm humid climate, where mould is an everyday problem.

I use cleaning vinegar undiluted on all sorts of stuff, including antique timber furniture, painted walls and leather goods.

I probably wouldn’t completely saturate the seats – damp would probably be enough to kill the mould and spores. You may need to do it again in a week’s time.

Is there an economic benefit to not saturating your $500 car seats with $5 supermarket vinegar?
