Default How to clean moldy leather+carpets?

I'm picking up a car that has sat damp inside for a while. What should I use to clean the moldy leather and funky carpets? Cashmere leather, I'm worried about losing dye color while cleaning.
Thanks.

If I were doing this car I would remove the seats and as much of the carpet as possible.

I would then use some of this on the carpets http://www.topoftheline.com/32ozmicroban.html

Spray the carpets, agitate them with a carpet brush and rinse well with the water hose. Hang them so they drip dry.

For the leather I would try a watered down Microban forumla. Try it in an inconspicuous area first. It should work just fine, with no problems but better to test it first.
