This weekend, I went to my storage unit (a garage that I rented before my departure).
I was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) to discover that there was water damage in the unit. My clothes had been cleaned and placed in garment bags and had mildew on them. Books - mildew. Interior of Elwood - mildew on vinyl, leather covered steering wheel, glass and carpet. I spent some time on Saturday spraying everything down with Lysol and wiping up as much as I could from the smooth surfaces. The carpets got pulled and sprayed. Sunday I cleaned everything again with lemon scent Pledge. Most of the smell is gone. Then I took the mats to the carwash and power-washed them off. Also, Sunday, I started the car. I think that I adjusted the valves a bit too tight before I left, so I didn't take the car out of a drive. Between a needed valve adjustment and year old fuel... I need to do some more work before Elwood hits the roads. Any suggestions for the mildew... something I haven't tried yet? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
