The Dangers of Mold & Mildew

Mold and mildew can develop in your vehicle’s interior due to moisture buildup from spills, leaks, or humid conditions. Once established, these fungi can spread quickly, producing unpleasant odors and potentially triggering allergies or respiratory issues. Our Mold & Mildew Remediation service targets the source of the problem, removing mold and mildew and preventing future growth.

Our Remediation Process

At Nomad Wash & Detail, we use a thorough and effective process to ensure your vehicle’s interior is free from mold and mildew:

Inspection & Assessment: We begin with a detailed inspection of your vehicle’s interior to identify areas affected by mold and mildew. This assessment allows us to determine the extent of the contamination and plan the appropriate treatment.
Deep Cleaning & Disinfection: We use specialized cleaning agents to deep clean the affected areas, breaking down and removing mold and mildew from surfaces, including upholstery, carpets, and trim. Our disinfectants are designed to kill mold spores, preventing them from spreading or returning.
Steam Cleaning: High-temperature steam cleaning is used to penetrate deep into fabrics and crevices, ensuring that all traces of mold and mildew are eliminated. Steam also helps to sanitize your vehicle’s interior, killing any remaining spores and leaving the area fresh and clean.
Odor Removal: Mold and mildew can leave behind stubborn odors that linger even after cleaning. We use advanced odor removal techniques to neutralize and eliminate these smells, ensuring your vehicle’s interior smells as clean as it looks.
Moisture Control & Prevention: To prevent future mold and mildew growth, we address the underlying causes of moisture buildup. This may include drying out affected areas, recommending repairs for leaks, or providing advice on how to keep your vehicle dry and mold-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our services.

Is mold removal expensive?

The cost of mold removal depends on several factors. Was the water intrusion caused by flooding? This factor drives the price higher than any other factor. Mold remediation starts at $295 for a sedan and can go as high as $1000 for a flooded vehicle. Saying that, we take care of many flood vehicles every year, and when we are done, you wouldn't even know that the vehicle was ever partially submerged.

Does mold removal fix the source of moisture, too?

Mold Removal will get rid of any present moisture from inside the vehicle. Saying that, it will now prevent new moisture from getting into the vehicle. You will need to determine how water got into the vehicle and have that taken care of to ensure you don't have a mold problem again in the future.

What causes mold to grow inside a car?

Mold spores are naturally in the air and all around us. They sprout and grow into mold in damp, warm areas.

Can mold be completely removed from ventilation systems?

Nomad Wash & Detail uses a multi-step mold treatment to ensure that your ventilation system is completely cleaned and no mold is present. We use specific mold killers and inhibitors, as well as running an ozone machine, which disinfects, kills mold, and cleans the ventilation system.

How can I tell if my car has mold?

Mold has a distinct musty smell. This is the first thing you will notice in a vehicle that has mold present. If left untreated, the will also be visible traces of mold.

Is mold dangerous in my car?

Mold (especially black mold) can be incredibly dangerous to you (the driver) and any passengers in your vehicle. Mold has been shown to cause significant respiratory issues for just about anyone.

Can I remove mold from my car myself?

Nomad Wash & Detail does not consider mold remediation to be DIY friendly. Many of the services we offer are, and mold remediation is definitely best left to the professionals.

What’s the first step before cleaning mold?

The first step in any mold situation is to figure out how water got into your vehicle. Did you leave a window or sunroof open? Is the gutter for your sunroof clogged? Is one of your door gaskets worn out? These are the most common water intrusion issues. You will want to be prepared to have that issue taken care of as well; otherwise, you will have a mold problem again in the future.

How quickly can mold start growing in a car?

In the right environment (mold loves to grow in moist, humid, warm areas... ie, the inside of your vehicle in Florida), in less than 24 hours. If the interior got wet and was not promptly dried and cleaned properly, you most likely need a mold remediation service.

Will just cleaning the surface keep mold from returning?

Mold penetrates fabrics, and being spore-based, it is in your ventilation system. Surface cleaning will not get rid of your mold problem.

Can I use bleach or vinegar to kill mold?

Both bleach and vinegar will kill mold (bleach better than vinegar), but both will damage fabrics and plastics within your vehicle at strong enough dilutions to kill mold.

When should I consider a professional mold removal service?

Anytime you have had a water intrusion that was not properly cleaned and dried immediately, you are going to need professional mold remediation.
