You'll just have to remove it in the horrible cold conditions anon, sorry.

Only real way is a regular dehumidifier on full noise for about 24h. Borrow your mates garage if you have to or find somewhere else to leave the car “overnight”. Also tell your mum to go fuck cuz that’s some straight up smooth brain behaviour.
Chemical dehumidifiers won’t do shit here.

Leave it running with the heaters on full blast for a while is the easiest way.

While you wait, beat the shit out of your mother.

Buy seat covers with decent fake leather.

I'll have to try both of these.
My dehumidifier is a pretty big one so if I can find a place to plug it in and leave it I think I'm in the clear. How long does it usually take for mold to grow? It happened yesterday but I only noticed it in the evening.

Rent a carpet cleaner and suck the water out.

Ideally, you'd take the seat/s out and bring them inside and put them in a room with a proper dehumidifier - get them out of the cold ASAP. Bring them into your bedroom and chuck the dehumidifier on in there and close the door for ~24 hours, that'll hopefully get rid of most of the moisture in the foam. Don't be afraid to give it longer blasts if you still feel some moisture, get as much of it out as you can.

As for potential mold problems, it'd be too cold in the car for it to start festering and would only really start coming in once the temps rise from freezing, but when those seats are dry get some mold-off sprayed on them and then some general cleaner to remove the smell of the stuff, that'd at least stop it from appearing on the upholstery.

As for your floor carpet, I'd recommend getting a whole heap of newspaper or any other kind of soakable rags and stick them under your carpet in the footwell and then put the carpet back down for a few hours, repeat the process until the papers come back dry. Towels should do as well, but you'll be tossing them in the dryer for a bit after each soak.

Also smack your mum upside the head if she does brainlet retarded shit like that again, nobody likes ruined car or house interiors.

it's still microscopic but is already growing, the cold will slow it though. Vacuum and dehue should be enough, and over the summer the mycelium will turn to dust and you can vacuum/wash it out so it doesn't feed the next round of spores.

I spilled a water bottle on a seat in winter.
I had to remove it, bring it home and use a portable AC to blow hot air on it.

Wet vac / one of those steam vacuums

The seat is fortunately not wet but I just removed the door sill to take a peek under the carpet and its as bad as I'd feared. There's a yellow small-pored foam under there and its nice and drenched. Shoved some newspapers and more paper towels under there which is all I can do until I get my hands on a wet vac and maybe find a way to run my dehumidifier in there. I'll still have to remove the passenger seat to get proper access though.
I'm fucking fuming atm.

This is turning into a massive fucking pain in the ass.

>he uses a windshield cover instead of just lifting the wiper blades
Seems like more work

>>28831225
it is and I'd be perfectly fine without it but scraping the windshield is too much work for my mom
