How to clean your car

Most people spend a significant amount of time in their vehicles.

If you are one those that basically live in your car and, especially those with kids, you know how dirty your car can get.

Below are some tips on how to clean your car.

Some cars with leather interiors only have leather seating surfaces. Others have leather in locations other than just the seats.

Because cows don’t come in green and blue, leather interior colours have to be custom dyed to match.

The dye can wear off but it is possible to restore thin areas if it’s not too bad. Leather requires special cleaners and conditioners to keep it supple and soft.

If the leather cracks or wears out, then it may be time for new seat covers.

Some crevices can’t be cleaned easily with a cloth, so keep a bag of ear buds handy for these spots.

You’ll be amazed at how much better the car looks when you clean all the detail spots.

Dirt can hide in between the leather grain, so for this use a soft bristle tooth brush in a slow, circular direction. You get extra, perfectionist points if you use a new toothbrush on your car.

You can’t have a clean interior if you forget about the carpet. Spots and stains need special attention.

First vacuum the carpet to pick up all the loose dirt. Spray the spots with a stain lifter. You’ll want to really soak them.

Scrub the dirtiest spots with a plastic bristle brush. You may have to repeat the application on stubborn spots.

Wipe up the lifted residue with a clean cloth and vacuum the carpet again after the cleaner dries.
