Tips to Care for the Interior of Your Vehicle

Taking proper care of your vehicle is a priority for many, but it can be confusing knowing the right steps to take. When you want to remove stains or make repairs, who can you turn to for expert advice? In addition, when you find that your best efforts aren’t effective, where should you go? We’ve got the tips you need to keep your vehicle’s interior in tip-top shape.

Tips on Do-it-Yourself Cleaning

Vacuuming

The absolute best tool that should be used in your car is the vacuum.  It will help to keep your car clean and sanitized. Be sure you remove the floor mats and dispose of any trash, use the vacuum to get into tight crevices to get all crumbs or other detritus that may have ended up in your vehicle’s upholstery. Invest in a good vacuum that has plenty of power and attachments. Otherwise, you could use a coin-operated vacuum often found at gas stations.

Upholstery Care

Dirt will sit on your vehicle’s upholstery and cause discoloration over time. Using a carpet and upholstery cleaner that is formulated to deep clean is your best bet. Some household upholstery cleaners can get the job done but specialty automotive upholstery cleaners are available if you’d prefer not to take any chances. If you find there are stains you can’t remove, it will be time to have professional stain removal in Toledo, OH.

For leather seat care, you will start with a vacuum to rid yourself of surface dirt. For a deep clean, use a special leather cleaner followed by a conditioner.

Cleaning your Dashboard

You may not always notice it, but the dashboard collects a lot of dust. After vacuuming, take a microfiber cloth to do a gentle cleaning. Then, use an automotive protectant to prevent cracking, peeling and fading. Avoid household cleaning products that are too harsh for your vehicle’s interior. Pay attention to the steering wheel as well, but don’t use a greasy or slippery product that may affect your grip.

Clean Windows mean Great Visibility

Smudges, paw prints and little fingerprints easily collect all over your car windows. Use glass cleaners that won’t leave behind any streaks. A newspaper works great for cleaning. Keep in mind that some glass cleaners are not designed to work on tinted windows and can actually cause damage.
