Water can enter the car when you open the car when it is raining or if you have wet clothes and shoes or you may spill drinks without realizing that you have.

Recognizing Mold

Removing mold as soon as you spot it is key to keeping on top of it and ensuring that there is less chance of it growing back. Mold will present itself in small black dots at first or you may not recognize it until it forms larger patches.
