Opened my Golf up to turn her over today. Good news is she still starts up under her own power. Bad news is there's mould growing in the interior

what is this stuff?!
I didn't touch it cos I thought it was really gross

how can I kill it and stop it coming back?? Is my interior going to be fubar now??

jobby, he's on to me
Cheers guys, I'll go at it with a weak bleach solution and soap. I just hate mould, I imagine all the spores going inside my lungs and eating me from the inside out

if you are gonna store a car for any time go to pets at home and buy a couple of bags of the silica gel cat litter. its the stuff they put into the boxes of electrical items you buy but in massive bags.
works a treat to draw any moisture out of the fabrics and air generally

Wash your hands more
Do as LLL suggested and wipe down the hard surfaces with alcohol wipes.

+1
In the cars I run every day I put the little bags of silica gel you get with electrical equipment into the boot, glovebox door cards etc, it just helps draw any moisture out of the air.
