hi kit g- appreciate your advice. have used lysol aerosol microbe killer a few times on the mildew on the carpet. has a fresh linen essence to it. no activity with the ac. may have taken a bullet during the last war. need to solve the rain leaking problem onto the floor. have seen it trickle down the right side bolster panel from the inside onto the carpet. cant find its source . would then block it or use plastigoop. will let you know of progress with lysol. if ng or stinko then to white vinegar. cooler weather will allow operation and open windows which may go a long way to assisting the lysol with the murder of the microbes. keep in touch. may need a pint of muscatel or ripple if this keeps up. thanks tons oldduke
