Most drivers know that the winter season does a lot of cosmetic damage to their vehicle. The exterior suffers from salt, mud, dirt and ice. The interior is usually filthier because of mud, snow and dirt. Fewer people wash their car during the winter months and they typically do not clean them out during this time of the year. Once spring comes around, you probably want to get your car ready for the warm weather months. Here are 3 ways to keep your interior clean this season and your car looking its best!
Remove Trash and Clean the Floors
One of the first things that you must do with your interior is to clean the floor. This is important because most people will notice your floors once they get into your vehicle. You can start this process by removing the trash, washing and cleaning the mats and then vacuuming the floors.
BONUS: You know that the winter brings in extra moisture and filth into your vehicle. So, cleaning your floor mats is essential to preserving your interior. If your floor mats are too dirty, then you should discard them and purchase a new set — perhaps an all-weather rubber set.
Use an Interior Restorer to Improve your Car’s Interior
Dust, dirt, spills and grime can quickly accumulate in your vehicle. Once this happens it can be hard to keep your vehicle looking its best. One of the best ways for you to keep your upholstery and your vehicle’s interior in good condition is to use an upholstery cleaner and restorer.
You can use a commercial brand interior cleaner to accomplish this job or you can use a heavy-duty cleaning agent.
Clean the Upholstery and Wash the Interior Doors
Your seats are an important part of your car and they will need to be cleaned as well. You should use a good upholstery cleaner that will help to bring out your seats true value. You should purchase the type of cleaner that is best suited for the material for your seats. Never use a leather cleaner on cloth seats and vice versa. If you use seat coverings, you should wash them as well to get rid of any dirt.
