A Place for Mold and Mildew to Grow
You probably already know that having mold and mildew in your basement could be bad for your health. Maybe you have even had your basement professionally waterproofed to keep it free of these dangerous organizations.
What you may not realize is that the car you drive can also harbor mold and mildew, and that mold and mildew could be even worse for your health. Your car is a much smaller and more concentrated environment, and having mold and mildew in the upholstery presents a serious risk to your health.
If your automotive upholstery is torn or otherwise compromised, it could provide an environment where mold and mildew can grow. The growth of mold and mildew is more likely under damp conditions, but it is a risk no matter where you live.
Trapping Dust and Giving Dust Mites a Home
Even if your vehicle’s interior remains free of mold nad mildew, cracks and tears in the upholstery will still trap dust and dirt, giving dust mites a home and putting your health at risk.

If you miss even a single cleaning, you could find yourself breathing contaminated air every time you drive.
