Slight damp and mildew in car, been wiping with baby wipes then distilled white vinegar seems to be ok so far.

Any other better suggestions welcome, also need to clean the seats up think baking powder/soda can't remember which.

Sprinkle on and leave over night and Hoover off day after, think that's more to do with damp, but suggestions welcome to bring seats up cleaner after...

I used Cilit Bang Degreaser, bucket of water and a sponge on mine, worked very well. I tried using some CarPlan stuff dedicated to interior cleaning but it was terrible. I wouldn't waste my money on that stuff again.

For basic cleaning, I typically use a strong caustic cleaner followed by lots of clean water.  The vinegar will kill fungus spores and help with cleaning.  A peroxide based cleaner will help bleach out the stains without damaging the material or anything it drips on.
