I was on my way to work this morning, and my water bottle wasn’t closed all the way… ended up spilling about a cup and a half of water on my front passenger seat before I even noticed. The water soaked into the seat and even made its way onto the floor mat behind the seat. Now I’m kinda freaking out because I live in a humid area and I don’t want mold down the road.
I tried soaking it up with a blanket I had in my trunk, but I had to leave it there while I worked. Am I overthinking this, or should I do something else to dry it out completely?
Nope, you’re not overthinking. If water sits for too long, it can start to smell. Get an extension cord, plug in a small fan, and leave the windows cracked. Move the fan around to hit different angles—seat, floor, under the seat. That should dry it out completely.
A fan is a great idea, but I’d also grab some Damp Rid. That stuff absorbs moisture like crazy. Just don’t leave it in the car while you’re driving or you might have a bigger mess to clean up.
