Mold on carpet

[smithma7 at gmail.com (Mike Smith)]

Also, I don't have a steam cleaner.  I have a shampooer (heh, pooer),
but don't think it'll fit in the car. :)  If it does, are there any
wires or other things under the carpet I should worry about or are the
all running down the hump or what?  I don't think the carpet's ever
been removed or had aftermarket wiring put under it.
