Cleaning Tips: Cleaning Inside The Car
Chris Collins • 22 March 2017

DIY interior clean

A professional interior car clean can be quite costly but doing it yourself can be inexpensive and simple. You probably have the tools and materials required to get back that inside freshness and shine.

• Vacuum Cleaner. A vacuum cleaner with all its accessories is ideal.
• Cleaning Products. Keeping it simple I would go with a eco multipurpose spray. Warm Water and Furniture Polish.
• Cloths and Polishing Materials. You need a range of towels and rags, microfiber cloths and paper towels.

Floor Mats
Remove the floor mats and vigorously shake the dirt loose.
If a good shake is not enough, try loosening grime with a stiff brush. Clean between the grooves with your vacuum cleaners hose nozzle.

Seats

Start off with a thorough vacuuming to get as much dirt off the seats before applying any cleaning chemicals.

  • Leather
As a rule of thumb, we usually recommend that you apply chemicals to your cloth and rub onto leather to avoid any excess damage which can come from applying too much leather polish. Dry the seats with a microfiber cloth.
  • Vinyl
With vinyl, clean-up can be quick and easy. Many products that you may already have will work fine. Even some brands of glass cleaner do a good job.
  • Cloth
When dealing with cloth seat, use liquid cleaning products to a minimum, to avoid dampness and the car smelling musty.

Windows and Mirrors

A glass cleaner and a paper towels or even newspapers can work wonders when cleaning glass surfaces.

Front Panel
The front panel is the area that we see most. Unfortunately, thanks to all the knobs, switches, vents, and dusty nooks and crannies, it can seem difficult to clean – but not if you have the right tools.

Dashboard & Console
Vacuum all the dust before you apply a cleaning product, making sure to reach as far as possible during the entire process.
Use a plastic knife wrapped in a cloth or cotton swabs to get into the crevices and vacuum after then polish.

Air Vents

a soft, long bristle brush can clean those dirty vents in no time.

Door Panels

Before cleaning with a chemical product, remove loose dirt and then vacuum thoroughly.

Carpets and Floor Mats
As a lot of of the dust and rubbish and clutter will tend to end up on the floor before and during the clean we suggest you do this area last.
Before you begin, remove all rubbish and clutter. Slide seats forward and backward to get right underneath seat when vacuuming.
