How To Clean The Interior Of The Car

Cleaning the interior of the car is a good option for people who want to always have a clean car. The car not only gets dirty on the outside, but also on the inside.

What’s more, I would dare to say that a car gets more dirty on the inside than on the outside. This is because there are always people getting in and out of our car, be it children, pets or even yourself when you get in with muddy boots.

In addition, cleaning the interior of the car never hurts, especially to clean the dust particles that accumulate in our car, especially on the control panel and on the upholstery of the car.

A clean car will have a better smell, better aesthetics, and will impress people more when they get into it, seeing a totally clean car and, therefore, a person who knows how to take care of the things that are theirs.

In addition, a clean car is not only good for aesthetics and bad smell, but it is also better for the internal health of the vehicle. When there is a lot of dust, it could be that some parts of the engine, the air or even the gearbox are damaged, something that of course does not interest us and we do not want to happen.

Also, although it may seem complicated to clean the interior of the car (it gives us the feeling that we have to disassemble everything and leave it upside down), it is easier than it seems at first glance, being able to finish cleaning the car in just one hour.

For this reason I am going to teach you step by step how to clean the interior of the car, so that your car is the cleanest car of all, both inside and out.

What do you need to clean the interior of the car?

• A vacuum cleaner.
• Soap and water.
• A rag.
• Glass cleaner.

Instructions for cleaning the interior of the car

1. Clean upholstery: The upholstery of the car is the part that covers the seats of your car, which is important since it makes these seats aesthetic. I say upholstery in a generic way, without distinguishing between materials and without distinguishing between cleaning covers and cleaning upholstery. The first thing we must do is remove the major dirt, eliminating products such as chewing gum, chocolate and others with soap and water (be very careful if the upholstery is leather). Now we must review the upholstery of the car with a damp cloth, so that it is shiny. Finally we will pass a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust that may have remained on them.
2. Carpets: The carpets of a car have a lot of dust, since they are always with one foot on them, which has picked up a lot of dirt from the street, something that will make them full of dust. The first thing we will do is shake the rugs so that most of the dust is gone, then we will wash them with soap and water to remove dirt and infectious microorganisms. Obviously to do this, we must remove them before the car so as not to wet it completely. We will let the carpets dry for a while in the sun and when they are dry, we will vacuum them again to remove all the dust that may have remained, being completely clean. In this article you will find more information to clean car carpets.
3. Remove dust and dirt: Carpets and car covers have the objective of absorbing dirt and protecting the car from it. But not all the dirt always remains in these parts, because if you pay attention, when you remove the mats, the floor of the car is full of dust. Then we must also clean this part of dust and dirt. The formula is the same as always, that is, a damp cloth with a little soap and water and a vacuum cleaner to finish off the parts that have dust. We are not only going to clean the dust and dirt from the floor of the vehicle, but we are also going to do it from other parts such as the trunk, the part of the rear window of the car and the inside of the doors, in which great amounts of amount of dirt.
4. Clean the control panel and crystals: Finally we have one last part left, that is, the car crystals and the control panel. The control panel is the entire part of the steering wheel, gearbox, odometer, from which we must remove the dirt with the cloth and then apply the vacuum cleaner so that everything is completely clean. We will do the same with the crystals on the inside, since although they are more stained on the outside, they are dusty on the inside. A little glass cleaner will suffice. Do the same with the interior rearview mirror and with the exterior ones (although that is no longer inside the car, it is not bad to remember). With all this, the interior of the car is completely clean, we would only have to put an air freshener due to odors and it would be finished.
