I was cleaning out a moldy car and honestly just thought the Lysol I was using was just a deodorizer. I came back and spot sprayed some mold with 5-10% bleach probably before the Lysol was dry. Does my car carpet need to be completely tossed now? According to the "blog" I read it's so toxic I have to throw away any cleaning tools that was used. I thought it only made a gas. My IQ may be below 90

Park somewhere with no neighbors or pedestrians. Mix baking soda with water in a spray bottle (or squirt gun) and soak the interior. Roll down windows, open doors, get a box fan to blow it out for 24 hours.

It was the underside where the mold was. Like a plastic barrier. But I only did like 5 squirts of diluted bleach. After spraying it with lysol. Will this eventually just fade? Or did it make a toxic chloroform residue that will be there forever?

If you need to cover bad spots on a carpet you can use the old dealership trick. Get some rit synthetic dye and a strong spray bottle. Fill the bottle with dye and boiling water. Spray the carpet spots and use a sponge to blend the dye into the carpet. I've done spots and entire carpets like this. Be sure to wash out the old dye with a couple wet rags

Chlorine gas is highly reactive and will fade within a few days at the most.

Reddit.

Ventilate the car and hose off your cleaning implements. Outside of the damage you caused to the rug by putting fucking bleach on it, you're fine.

slightly related to OP's concern about odors but I have a plastic mat that gets exposed to semen a lot.

How do I get rid of the smell of dried up semen on it? What are some common household products I can use? hydrogen peroxide? baking soda? liquid soap? rubbing alcohol?

Best medicine is preventative medicine. Swallow next time, or at least lap up what falls from your chin.
