How to Clean Your Car

 Cleaning your car’s interior is not just a cosmetic advantage it also improves your health.  Dirt and grime get into the fibers, wreaking havoc on your respiratory system.  It’s also a breeding ground for germs.  Every time you are in your car you drop hair, dead skin, and make-up.  If you eat in your car, you’re dropping crumbs or spilling liquids.  Here are some tips for cleaning your car’s upholstery and stains.  To make it fun and quick, grab someone to help and bribe them with pizza after your cleaning session.

Dirt and grease can be removed by rubbing on paint thinner with a cotton cloth.  Cover the stain with salt until all the grease is absorbed, and then vacuum.  Coffee spills should be immediately diluted with cool water and blotted with a paper towel or clean rag.  If a stain remains after drying, spray glass cleaner and allow it to soak for 5 minutes and then blot.  Wet stains can usually be removed with a salt-water solution.  However, if this doesn’t work, try hairspray or paint thinner.  You should test an area first to make sure the fabric isn’t stained further.

When cleaning the carpet, make sure the floorboard doesn’t get too wet.  There are electronic parts underneath and could be damaged if they become wet.  It’s best to remove floor mats from the car when cleaning.  Some cars allow you to remove the seats which make for easier cleaning and reduce the amount of moisture inside.  Dry powder or dry foam carpet shampoos are best for cleaning this area.  Make sure to vacuum first.  This includes the floor, under the seats, between the pedals and between the seats.  Along with carpet shampoos, upholstery shampoo is also a good investment.  All you have to do is spray the cleaner and rub vigorously.  When the stain is gone, wipe it with a dry, cotton cloth.

For stains from vomit, dilute and neutralize them with baking soda and water or club soda.  Make sure to dry the area thoroughly so it doesn’t corrode, stain or create mold.  To remove blood stains use a paste made of dry starch and cold water.  For beer and alcohol, dilute with cold water immediately.

For non-cloth interiors like vinyl, wipe with baking soda and a damp rag.  Use dishwasher detergent and water to rinse.  For leather interiors, use leather cleaner with a soft, clean, cotton towel.  Wipe gently, making sure to get all the edges and crevices.  Also, when using leather care products, make sure the steering wheel is completely dry before you drive
