How best to clean the roof lining on C70 mk2?

mark2410 · Jul 31st, 2023, 14:00

ive got a c70 and as i dont use it often it sits for time and there is clearly a small leak somewhere, not enough to flood anything but enough that it gets damp inside. the result is that the roof lining and the seat belt have gotten a little moldy.

i was thinking one of those spot vacuum cleaners, you know the mini wet cleaners that spit out water and then suck it back up in one?

is that a good idea? is there a better way to clean it?

Some warm water with something like Stergene plus a soft cloth should remove any staining then just let it dry naturally.

I wouldn't go any more heavy metal than that.

Oh, and use a dehumidifier in the car - something like this:
