Quick Tips To Spring Clean Your Car

Spring has finally sprung here in New York and one of the best ways to enjoy it is getting outside and giving your car that spring clean that we have all been putting off. With a couple sunshiny days, I am finally motivated to clean out the inside of my car. Below you’ll find some quick tricks to spring clean your vehicle!

• Get rid of any trash that has been piling up. You may not need all of those plastic shopping bags or the water bottles that you’ve been tossing in your backseat for months. Decide what you’re keeping and what is getting thrown out/ recycled.

• Vacuum your floorboards, mats, seats and really anywhere you think dirt might be hiding. If you have carpet floor mats show them some TLC by throwing them in the washing machine on a heavy duty cycle. If you have all-weather mats, rinse them off with some soap and water for a fresh, clean look.

• Using a microfiber cleaning cloth, wipe down your dashboard, doors, center console and anywhere else that dust has a tendency to build up. Don’t forget about your ceiling, dirt and dust can build there too. Wipes specifically made for car care are a great, easy way to make sure your car stays clean and dust free year round.

• Air vents tend to harbor dust when they are not cleaned often. Cleaning out the dust will also cut down on your allergy symptoms, as well. Foam art brushes work wonders when it comes to this, they will grab the dust and dirt from those hard to reach spaces. Q-tips also work very well for this purpose. You can also use an all-purpose cleaning solution to free your vents from some of the build up.

• A key part of driving is being able to see, your windshield being clean and clear plays an important role in safe driving. Use a glass cleaner and a microfiber towel to ensure you get a bright, sparkly windshield.
