Step-By-Step Guide to a Sparkling Clean Car Interior
Take Out and Clean Floor Mats
Start by removing all trash from your car. Take out the floor mats and shake them outside to remove large crumbs and debris. Use a vacuum to collect dirt embedded in your mats. For carpeted mats, apply a carpet or upholstery cleaner. For rubber mats, wash with a hose and scrub with dishwashing soap.
Vacuum Interior
With the floor mats removed, vacuum the entire interior, including seats and hard-to-reach corners like cupholders and the space between the windshield and dashboard.
Clear Dust and Disinfect the Dashboard
Use a duster or microfiber cloth to clear smaller particles from your dash and vents. This will ensure you don’t scratch the surfaces and capture dust effectively.
Carefully Clean Console
Dust and disinfect areas like the gearshift, infotainment panel, and console controls. To avoid damaging the plastic surface of infotainment screens, use a microfiber cloth dampened with distilled water.
Clean Cupholders, Door Panels, and Steering Wheel
Remove and wash removable cupholders. Use disinfecting wipes for door panels and the steering wheel, which are high-touch areas.
Wipe Interior Windows
Use Invisible Glass to clean interior windows. Spray the product on a microfiber cloth, apply it to the glass, and wipe clean with a second cloth.
