Guide: Removing unwanted water from a car

[ginge191]

So myself and Matt came across a dilemma and thought it would be appropriate to create a guide.

If you ever find yourself with water in your vehicle and wish to restore it to it's former glory, then this is for you!

Firstly, identify where in the car the water is and possibly where it's coming from and if you're able to, sort that out first



Then, find a suitable container for which you can empty the water from your car.








Next, it's time to tackle the carpets. Grab an old absorbent towel, and tread it into the carpet, ensuring you regularly turn the towel, absorbing as much water as possible.



Moving on, grab some rice, about a 1kg will cover one footwell, and spread it out evenly, patting it into the carpet thoroughly.



Leave this for a few days ensuring no more water can enter the vehicle, then grabbing your hoover, SUCK IT UP!

If the carpets are still damp, repeat the rice step. Most of the time, warm climates should help evaporate the left over water.

When and if the carpets are smelly at all, most upholstery cleaners will sort that, so don't go scrapping things
