5 Car Hacks: How To Clean Your Car Like A Professional

Keeping a car clean is no mean feat. I often smile at the older retired gentlemen in my street who head out on a Sunday afternoon with their buckets of soapy water around a certain time, as if it is a cult, to wash their cars.

I do have to admit I hate a dirty car, it drives me insane. Here are my top 5 tips to keeping your car interior clean.

Use a foam brush or clean painting brush to dust between the vents.

Instead of using your duster grab a brush to get into those hard to reach places and remove all traces of dust from your vents.

Vacuum all the dust as you go

If you vacuum as you go then the dust doesn’t have a chance to settle elsewhere in the car. Alternatively, you can use the brush nozzle that goes on your vacuum to help make tips one and two easier.

Spray your car mats with stain remover and throw them in the washing machine

Yes, really! Cover them in stain remover and then wash on a gentle wash on a low heat then hang them out to dry. They’ll be good as new, smell great and will look great again!

Crumbs? Use a toothbrush

If you struggle to get little crumbs from the side of your seating or out of little nooks then grab a toothbrush, let the fine bristles get in where you can’t and watch your car look cleaner than ever.

Finally, the BEST cleaning tip of all, for animal owners

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be frustrated when it comes to your dog leaving hair in your car (my next car is having full leather seats!), if you use a spray water bottle and window squeegee. The combination means that the hair clumps together so that you can easily vacuum it up. I recommend using the Shark DuoClean Range.

If you can’t be bothered to spend time cleaning, why not leave it to the professionals? For Car Servicing in Dewsbury or nearby I recommend local companies like Ossett Tyre House, they’re super friendly and efficient.
