The best way to get rid of mold smell in a car is to lighten the moldy spot with a degreaser cleaner. In case you do not have any degreaser cleaner at hand, try vinegar for mold removal as an alternative. Dilute the white vinegar in the ratio of 1:1, or use it undiluted to treat stubborn mold stains.

Use a sturdy brush to brush off the moldy spots in circular motion, when the molds are loosen up, wipe off with a damp cloth. Replace the cloth once it is soiled with molds, you do not want the molds that soil the cloth to contaminate other areas in your car.

After this is done, use an enzyme-based cleaner to remove the moldy odor. Follow the same procedure above, brush in circular motion and wipe off using the clean part of the damp cloth. You can see that molds and mildews are actually lifted onto the cloth.

Let the windows of your car down a little bit to allow the treated areas to dry completely.
After it is dried, vacuum it over a couple more times to make sure mold spores are removed completely.
