Mouldy rear seat belts

[Conor L]

Need some advice guys, the rear seats in my Mk2 have got mould on them for some reason probably due to lack of use as nobody sits in the back. Obviously I want this gone, I've tried a strong dilution of APC with a magic eraser however this doesnt seem to be shifting it.

Advice is much appreciated

I’ve used some house hold cleaning product that came in a pink and white tub.

Let me see if I can find out what it was.

Edit it was this in a bucket of hot water and leave it to soak in.

I had some old harnesses that had sat in water on the car floor, and they were a state. NOTHING got rid of the mould apart from some old Milton mould and mildew tablets my mum had from when I was a baby!

This....it actually works. Used it on some seatbelts for my 106 gti that I'd left in a damp garage.
Mould is essentially a fungus so you need to kill it off or it just sticks around.

Try using a stronger solution of APC or use it neat

Had this on one of my Ph1 seat belts. Get a new one. Nothing got rid of mine.
