sparky 274 Posted January 21, 2016 Is there any explanation as to why at this time of year the interior of a car can appear to be dry and yet as soon as you pull a seat belt down it looks like stilton ? P.S I'm VAT registered, have my own premises and don't have any other part time career 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluechip Classics 7 Posted January 21, 2016 I'd expect it's because if some moisture has entered the car at some point, it's much harder to dry out because it's rolled up most of the time and the mould precipitates there and then grows up the unrolled part. P.s. I'm part time, not VAT registered and have a full time career. But you're welcome anyway.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Econimotor 15 Posted January 21, 2016 open the boot or window daily let air circulate. Keep them closed and you will be selling a big Fur Ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rosemotors 31 Posted January 21, 2016 open the boot or window daily let air circulate. Keep them closed and you will be selling a big Fur Ball.Also, attach balloons to the wing mirrors. The helium absorbs the excess moisture and carries it away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenGiant 287 Posted January 21, 2016 And the special, mould-eating bunting......don't forget the bunting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted January 21, 2016 A car doesn't have to have a leak to have mould this time of year just the general dampness of winter! Mould grows where bacteria is, usually seat belts, steering wheel and seats. Open the boot and let them breathe as opening boots sells cars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparky 274 Posted January 21, 2016 As well as balloons, bunting and boot opening, do you think if I line the cars up like a Korean army that would help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wood235 36 Posted January 21, 2016 Anti bacterial wipes do the job! Pop to your local supermarket, give them a good rub over and you shouldn't have any more problem (or minimise it at least) i am am also vat reg'd, have a 40 car forecourt & seem to fund all but myself! :-( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory RSC 596 Posted January 22, 2016 Have any of you done any good saves on test drives to avert customer attention to mouldy seatbelts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamslug 91 Posted January 22, 2016 Pahahaha. Is it not just me then :P. I will say "I am sure you a perfect driver but would you mind if I just maneuver the car out of the forecourt into the car park"(i am now frantically wiping mould into the palms of my hands and buying as much time as possible by driving really slowly and wiping like I have never wiped before) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
