Many people go to professionals to get their car interiors cleaned. They charge lots of money for this job. However, if you learn how to do it you can do so easily on your own. So, here are some useful tips for keeping your car’s interior clean and well maintained.
Remove the floor mats and shake them out well to remove loose debris. Take a vacuum cleaner to clean the seats and the floor. Using the proper attachment, reach around the pedals, under the seats, and the area between central console and front seats.
Take a soft brush and attach it with vacuum cleaner. Now clean the dashboard, leather seats and stereo properly. Be careful not to damage vents, knobs and sticking parts.
Use a spray cleaner for seats and door. You need to just spray and rub very well. You can also use laundry detergent as well instead of spray. Just add a small amount of mild detergent to warm water and squeeze a sponge or cloth into it. Use the damp cloth to wipe the upholstery and rub harder on very grimy areas. Hereafter, just dry it off completely. Ensure there is no spilled water in your vehicle as it will cause mold, corrosion, etc.
Repeat the same process to clean the carpet. Do not soak the carpet in water, it will cause corrosion and mould smell.
Now its time to clean the dashboard and other plastic or timber part of your car. Clean your dashboard with multi-purpose cleaner and a moist cloth. Dry the dashboard off thoroughly with a clean lint free dry cloth. To make it shiny, use a polish for plastic.
Lastly, clean all the windows from the inside and outside. Use a suitable glass cleaner to wipe the interior of the windshield and the windows. Try not to dab with a rough cloth as it may cause scratches.
Finish off with a quick spray of air freshener and enjoy a ride in your freshly cleaned car !
