Default Stopping mould on classic seats while stored

I have my original type r front seats in the garage and when moving them the other day they have mould on them. I cant really leave them anywhere to dry out and then wrap up, so is there anything I can spray them with to keep it at bay?
Its only at the stage where I wipes off easily but I don't want them ruined?

You could try a LIGHT spray with mould and mildew remover, but DO try it on an area you don't normally see first.
Available at decent DIY outlets and some supermarkets.

TBH, the only SURE way is to keep 'em dry.

...or use distilled (clear) vinegar mixed 50/50 with water, spray on (after cleaning as much mould off as possible) and repeat until mould smell has gone, try and get into the foam as well.

Once it's in to the foam and fabric it's hard to get gone above are all good tips but keeping the inside of your car dry and seats cleaned regularly will help loads also steaming it might help kill any mold or bacteria in foam and fabric but do be careful and try on a small area first
