4. Let It Sit
Leave the setup for the desired duration—I usually go for around 20 minutes.

For heavily moldy situations, consider using a specialized mold remover for optimal results.
5. Wipe and Rinse
Once the time is up, remove the pads, give the interior a good wipe, and dispose of the pads responsibly. Follow up with a wet microfiber cloth to thoroughly rinse the treated areas.

Leave the machine open to air-dry, ensuring a mold-free and pristine environment.
