Using a leaf blower on moldy seats

Hmm, I left one of my moldy rear seats outside with the leaf blower pointed a few inches from it for a couple days and it seems to have gotten rid of most of the smell

"....for a couple days " ???

Have you tried any other things to try to solve this problem like, steam cleaning them somehow ?

WOW! I can just imagine your electric bill next month!

I would have just tried to steam clean it first.

yeah, instead of trying to salvage moldy seats I might just throw them away and buy new ones. instead of having that high electricity bill.
