Yes, Your Vehicle Might Have Mold…

The carpet in your car is organic and holds large amounts of dust, both of which are food for mold, yeast, and bacteria. Additionally, carpet absorbs and retains moisture and is difficult to dry. Rain can leak into the car through windows, sunroofs, convertible tops, or even just tracking in wet shoes. If the carpet is not properly dried it can create an environment for mold, yeast, and bacteria to grow. A square inch of carpet may hold over 200,000 bacteria. That is 4,000 times more than your toilet. Moisture can condense in cooling and heating vents also causing mold, yeast, and bacteria growth and potentially releasing spores into the air.

Mold in Your Car Can Spread and Make You Sick

If your car has mold, it will likely spread to your clothes and into your home, creating a larger problem and requiring even more remediation. If mold is left untreated, it could expose your health and lead to sickness. The appearance of carpet can be deceiving even with high levels of mold, yeast, and bacteria, however, it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Sometimes the bacteria causes musty odors that can give away its presence. If you can smell it, it’s in your blood. Whatever you breathe enters your body, including the toxins released by mold sources. Elevated concentrations of mold spores have been known to produce autoimmune reactions and many other health symptoms, including chemical sensitivities.
