Urhhh thats disgusting, the state of that door pocket
 I've had my seats go like it in the past front and rear but not the door cards. I wondered if it was just the fact it was a little damp inside or if it was linked to products i had used to clean / condition the leather?

I've had some mould growth in the past, especially on the leather, but not quite that bad and not so widespread.
The really bad areas I saw were on the door shuts and bottoms of the door trims. Cure the water ingress and dry it out (slowly) with silica gel bags. Keep an eye out for leather shrinking and peeling off the backing as it dries, you may need to soften, stretch and reattach some of it. The mould will just go as it dries, hoover it all away. When totally dry check for staining and clean carefully and appropriately. I think Alcantara just needs gentle sponging with tiny amounts of water and very dilute mild detergent - don't soak it. Leather I use Woollies products to clean, recolour and recondition.

It's probably a combination of a little wet in the car, poor air circ and that extremely damp Devon air.

I just wiped over with a damp cloth, it all came off really easy. Quote:

Yuk indeed!

Actually, mould is fungus, is it not? .... Rather than bacteria or yeast. I must say, Mike, you do seem to be a Fungi to be with. Better get it cleaned off before it gets any worse or there won't be mushroom left to sit in there.  Seriously though, I hope it comes off without any lasting damage!
