Draining Footwells

[jjmartin349571]

Hi guys,

Following on from my last thread - I've taken the carpets out my Golf and removed all the sound deadening, I've now reached the metal floor pan. I siphoned as much water as possible out the car ( there was so much ) and now I'm left with the last few mm of water - simple enough to dry up, no? Well I've been through 4 rolls of kitchen roll and it's still bloody there is there anything readily available I can just chuck in the footwell that'll just suck out any moisture? I'm thinking like silica beads, but I can't get them locally (or cheaply locally anyway). Is there anything else that'll work similar? I'm about to nip down B&Q to see if they've got anything, but usually they're pretty crap at my local store

I just want to get the water out without having to get my hands dirty, it smells so bad in that car

I use a sponge to soak it up & then dry the floor with the towels. Like one does in a building.

I don't have any spare sponges/towels though plus I don't want to get that horrible stagnant water over anything

As above, use an old sponge and squeeze out into a bucket, then use an old towel to dry up the dampness left behind.

I currently doing this every 3-4 weeks at the moment, until I can get the windscreen replaced to stop the water getting in!

EDIT: go buy some then! Will be cheaper than any device to do the job for you!

Cat litter.

It'll be a muffin to clean up though.
