Monsoon Tips For Fungus And Mold Free Interior

Monsoon season is bliss to many of us as nature heals the environment with rain showers. It is indeed fun to watch droplets drip over the windshield of our car. Fun, isn't it? We caution you to consider some of the monsoon tips for fungus and mould-free cabin inside your vehicle.

There are different types of mould, a kind of fungus that can harm you and your loved ones if you inhale the tiny spores present on them. So here are some monsoon-car-interior maintenance tips that can protect you from being prone to health issues.

• Keep your windows rolled up: If your windows are rolled down even partially when it rains, there is a high probability that water could enter your vehicle's interior and damage the components such as door pads, dashboard, and electrical components such as the power window motors etc. If the water soaks the carpets and dashboard and is not dried on time, mould or fungus can occur, which will contaminate and pollute the interiors with a foul smell, which is harmful if inhaled.
  
  Water droplets can spoil the interior by causing huge mould patches, which sometimes could be difficult to remove altogether, resulting in the only option to replace the part. It could cause you thousands of rupees; hence it can all be avoided by simply rolling up your windows.
  
• Use A/C and demister: Nowadays, cars come with the option of demister so when it rains, make sure to turn on the demister and A/C to heat the windows or obliterate the mist. This makes sure that the water droplets are entirely removed from the car's interior, keeping it dry. "Hey, where there are no water droplets, there is no mould!"
  
  Make sure to turn the air conditioning on with the direct airflow engaged, as this ensures fresh air intake and will remove the presence of water on wet surfaces quickly.
  
• Use an Umbrella: We ask you to consider using an obvious umbrella to avoid getting your clothes wet, which will ultimately spoil the seat. Try keeping yourself dry since it is also an essential part of keeping your vehicle's interior dry and safe from contamination. Consider this easy monsoon tip to keep your vehicle mould free.
  
• Use rubber mats: Rubber mats will make sure that the fabric mats that come in stock with your vehicle do not drain the water onto the carpets. It is also easy to clean a rubber mat, and they dry quickly, which means less moisture and water droplets inside your vehicle resulting in no formation of fungus.
