Dave,
One product that I've had good luck with is called
Damp Rid. It comes in a little plastic "bucket" with
a strainer -- you fill the strainer with the Damp Rid
pellets, which suck up moisture and deposit it in the
bucket.
When I've had moisture problems in cars, I put three
or four buckets of damp rid in them for a week or so
(check them every couple of days). Then you should be
able to vacuum out the dry powdery mold and mildew. I
have a handheld Dirt Devil vacuum that has a rotating
brush that is super for this sort of thing.
A few dryer sheets (i.e. Bounce) under the seats for a
few weeks will kill any lingering odor.
Good luck!
