Step 1. Throw Out Trash

Get rid of all trash from within your vehicle, do not fail to glance under the seats and in the cracks between your seats. Throw stuff out your vacuum can not handle. Before you clean, you may want to purify and eliminate any undesirable smells from your vehicle seats and carpets. This should be a really simple and can be done in 5 easy steps:

1. Fill two bowls with white vinegar.
2. Place one bowl on the dash and the other in the back a day before cleaning.
3. Close all door and windows and leave the bowls to sit for 12 hours. The white vinegar should consume all the odors from the auto.
4. Take out the bowls of vinegar and open the car windows and doors for as long as it takes for the smell of vinegar to fully evaporate.

 

Step 2. Carpet Stain Removal

You are almost ready to vacuum. If you do not have any smudges or stains to get rid of go head and spray the inside of your mirrors and windows with a essential window cleaner and wipe down the vinyl and upholstery before you vacuum. If you have some resilient stains and blemishes let’s handle that stain before we continue to anything else with a few of these easy solutions below.

Getting rid of difficult stains can be done with two homemade cleaning solutions:

The first cleaning solution for troublesome stains:

• ¼ cup baking soda
• 1 cup warm water

The second part of the cleaning process you will need:

• Warm water
• A few squirts of dish detergent
• ¼ cup vinegar
• A spray bottle

Mix the warm water, a few squirts of dish detergent and ¼ cup of vinegar in a spray bottle. Shake the mixture well and let sit for 5 minutes to set and then you should be ready to start cleaning the dashboards and upholstery.

  

Step 3. The Really Troublesome Stains, and Blemishes

Tackle the troublesome stains by using the baking soda paste and working it into the carpet and/or upholstery stains with a toothbrush or small brush. Allow the paste to dry and then vacuum up the paste and the stain should be dissolved. If there is still some stain left – just simply repeat the process.

 

Step 4. Spraying the Interior Clean

Use a car interior cleaner… spray it on dashboards and/or vinyl and any other interior that needs a good clean. Permit it to sit and then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Hint: Might try using a brush or foam sponge to help remove all dust and dirt from vents and dashboards before you use a spray cleaning solution.

 

Step 5. Time to Clean the Car Mats

Don’t forget to pull your car mats out. First, shake out your mats to remove any loose dirt or dust. Then, Vacuum the mats to remove any remaining dirt and grime from them and if you have a tough stain, use a professional auto cleaner and a stiff brush to eradicate stains.

 

Step 6. Clean the Windows
