Musty smell in fabric seats after cleaning?

[Marc Hufnagel]

Well, I used the little green to clean the fabric seats (yea I know, not good to do this), but I did and learned. Took 3 days to dry, unfortunately during these 3 days it rained on and off, put a Damp-Rid container in to help out.



Now it is all dry and clean, but I have a musty kind of smell in it... I've since left the windows down about 3 days in 85f sunny conditions and it still persists.



No mold that I can see, just the smell. I know just spraying something in the air won't help, could I field any suggestions from the pros?



thanks

Try spraying the seats with Febreze. Good luck.

Yeah that can happen, whenever I do my car I put a box of baking soda in there to soak up the smell as I don't like the smell of Febreeze. In customer's cars I spray febreeze on all the areas I cleaned. Both work but the Febreeze leaves behind a scent.
