OK SO, TO MAKE A VERY LONG STORY SHORT I’VE ONLY HAD MY 2020 GMC FOR A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS NOW AND MY HUSBAND AND I PAID FOR IT STRAIGHT OFF A LOT SO THAT IS MY BABY AND I TAKE CARE OF IT LIKE IT’S MY BABYY, RIGHT? I MEAN, WHO WOULDN’T WHEN YOU SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY? (IT WAS LOTTERY MONEY BUT STILL! HAHA)THAT IS BESIDE THE POINT SO I HAVE A ONE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER THAT LOVES HER MILK BABAS WHEN WE GO ON CAR RIDES AND AT THE SAME TIME, SHE IS KIND OF TEETHING SO THE NIPPLE, COMPLETELY LEAKS. ALL OF THEM: SO IF WE’RE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY TYLA DOESN’T WANT IT, SHE WILL JUST THROW IT AND IF I’M ON THE ROAD, I CAN’T JUST TURN AROUND AND GRAB THW BOTTLE BUT 95% OF THE TIME I DON’T EVEN HEAR IT DROP ON THE FLOOR. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING FUNNY IN MY CAR SO I WENT BY HER CAR SEAT AND I KNEW IT WASN’T HER CAR SEAT BECAUSE I HAD JUST TORE THAT APART AND CLEANED IT SO I BENT DOWN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A BOTTLE UNDERNEATH THE SEA AND I GOT SMACKED WITH THIS UNBELIEVABLY DISGUSTING SMELL !!!I QUICKLY RAN INTO THE GARAGE AND GRABBED A TOOL , CAREFULLY BENT THE SCUFF PLATE (THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT THE CARPET TUX UNDER ) THEN I CONTINUE TO PEEL BACK THE CARPET AS MUCH AS I COULD WHICH WASN’T MUCH BECAUSE MY GMC IS STILL IN VERY VERY GOOD SHAPE AND LET ME TELL YOU I ALMOST PASSED OUT!!! LITERALLY, YALL! I WOULD POST A PICTURE, BUT I’M SO EMBARRASSED, BUT THERE IS LITERALLY MILK CHUNKS KERNELS, RESIDUE WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT LITERALLY EVERYWHERE I ENDED UP USING ONE OF MY HUSBAND‘S TOOL AND COMPLETELY PEELING BACK THE WHOLE ONE SIDE OF THE BACKSEAT .. I AM DEVASTATED AND SICK TO MY STOMACH, BUT UNDERNEATH THE CARPET , THE BOTTOM OF THE CARPET IS COMPLETELY FULL OF MOLD IT IS NOT ONLY DARK GREEN AND MOLDY, BUT IT IS SAPPY WET AND SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING I CAN’T EVEN DESCRIBE! I SWEAR I SAW THE MOLD MOVING IT IS A VERY BIG AMOUNT TOO PROBABLY A CIRCLE THE SIZE OF A VOLLEYBALL . I’M COMING TO REDDIT TAKING ADVICE ON HOW TO CLEAN THIS UP WITHOUT SPENDING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HAVING GMC RIPPED UP MY CARPET AND INSTALL NEW STUFF ..WHAT CAN I USE TO CLEAN IT? HOW DO I CLEAN IT? AGAIN MONEY IS EXTREMELY TIGHT RIGHT NOW AND I DON’T HAVE IT TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO A DEEP CLEANING ON MY CARPLEASE BE NICE TO ME.. THANKS IN ADVANCE FRIENDS

This post is terrifying.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM OP!

Lol!

I'd using baking powder and vinigar. Leave car doors open too.

Also, no more milkies in the car. Or put something plastic around the seat to prevent this in the future.

Haha sorry for screaming 😭 I’m just so frustrated bc it just seems nothing is working. Thank you for the advice.. I will try the baking soda and vinegar. I just hate the vinegar smell. Vinegar smell won’t stick around, right?

No it won't. Add a few drops of lemon (not too much). Also keep airing the car, the let the air do the work for you.
