8 Easy Hacks To Keep Your Car Interior Clean
Highlights
Use organizers to store things
It is natural for a car to get filled with things over a period of time. If you can't find a good way to organize things, the inside of your car will be a mess. The easiest way to remove the clutter from your car is to use organiser accessories. These small tools could help you arrange the space in a much more efficient way.
Clean the mats and the floor of the car
Perhaps the dirtiest place inside a car is its floor. So the first step towards cleaning the car is cleaning the mats and floor. Every piece of trash eventually lands on the mat or the floor so they need to be cleaned more frequently.
To clean the mats, you can just take them out and shake them a little until the dust falls off it. If it is still dirty, use a brush or detergent. The car floor could be cleaned right away with a vacuum cleaner.
Use a vacuum cleaner
A vacuum cleaner is one of the most important things to keep in your car. You can clean up quickly whenever you want if you have a vacuum cleaner handy. But keep in mind that you can't get rid of all the dirt just by vacuuming. For thorough cleaning, you need to do more.
Keep wipes handy
A pack of wipes is a useful accessory that should always be in the car, just like a vacuum cleaner. In fact, more so. Wipes work well in removing dust and dirt from the dashboard, the leather seat, and other places. Wet wipes are enough to clean most of the things inside. It is easy. It is cheap. And, therefore, it is essential.
Use a toothbrush to get into the cracks
Some corners of your car can't be reached with a vacuum cleaner or even a wipe. For those nooks and crannies, you need to keep a toothbrush.
Always keep a trash bag
The best way to keep your car clean all the time is by keeping a small trash bag or trash can inside. Anyone who sits in the car should dispose of their trash in the trash can only.
Create a homemade window cleaner
A mixture of vinegar and alcohol can remove even those stains on the car window which the normal wipers can't. All you need is one cup of water, one and a half cups of vinegar, and a quarter of alcohol. Mix them and keep them in a spray bottle.
Keep the inside of the car smelling nice
Car odour is one of the biggest irritants and a deal-breaker. It is just not acceptable. There are ready-made deodorizers available in the market which do a fine job. If that doesn't work for your nose, keep a box or a lump of charcoal under the car seat. Charcoal absorbs odour and keeps the inside of the car fresh. Alternatively, you can create a mix of baking soda and essential oil and spray it on the carpet to save some money.
