Why Mould Develops Inside a Car
Mould needs moisture to grow, and a car can hold a surprising amount of it. Once the inside stays damp, mould can start in the carpet, seats and trims, often out of sight.
Where the Moisture Comes From
The most common causes we see are:
- Water leaks through door seals, sunroofs or windscreens
- Wet carpets that never fully dried
- Blocked drain holes that let water pool under the carpet
- Spilt drinks or food that soaked into the fabric
- A damp vehicle left parked with the windows closed
Signs Your Car May Have a Mould Problem
- Visible mould or white, green or black patches
- A musty smell that doesn’t go away
- Carpet that feels damp after rain
- Mould on seatbelts, door trims or other interior panels
We Can Take a Look

What Our Happy Customers Are Saying
How Our Car Mould Treatment Works
Here is how our car mould removal process works:
Inspection
We check the whole interior, including carpets, seats, trims and seatbelts, to see how far the mould has spread and where the moisture is coming from.
Surface Treatment
After inspection, suitable treatment is applied to each surface, so fabric, carpet, plastic and leather each get the right care.
Controlled Steam
We use steam on affected areas to lift contamination from fabric and carpet without soaking the interior.
Extraction
Dirt, moisture and loosened residue is extracted from carpets and upholstery.
Odour Treatment
Where suitable, we treat the musty smell so it isn’t just masked.
Drying
We finish by getting the interior as dry as possible, because leftover moisture is what lets mould return.

Our Recent Mould Removal Job: Toyota Crown, Balwyn
A shared Toyota Crown developed widespread interior mould after rain entered through a vandalised passenger-side window.
The Problem
A shared Toyota Crown had its passenger-side window smashed in a vandalism incident. The owners, two university students, covered it temporarily with plastic and tape.
The cover wasn’t fully watertight, so rain got into the cabin and mould began to grow.
What Was Affected
The mould was light but widespread. It covered all the leather seats, the door trims and other interior plastics.
What We Treated
We treated the leather seats, door trims and interior plastics with mould removal and remediation.
We then steam cleaned the whole cabin. We also advised the owners that the window needs a permanent repair, because rain will keep getting in while the opening is still there.
The Result
The visible mould was gone from the seats and plastics. The car was ready on Saturday, in time for the owners to use it again on Monday.

To prevent mould, keep your car well-ventilated and avoid leaving wet items inside. Regular interior cleaning and proper ventilation can help reduce the chances of mould growth, especially during Melbourne’s humid weather.
It can, if the moisture that caused it is still there. A leaking seal, a blocked drain or a damp carpet brings mould back, however well the car was cleaned. That’s why we look for the main cause during inspection and then fix it.
