Whether your car is your pride and joy, or simply just a vehicle to get you from A to B, we can all admit a clean car interior just feels good! There’s nothing quite like a freshly cleaned car, and detail cleaning takes that clean feeling to the next level. In this article we look at some cheap and effective ways you can detail clean your car between professional cleans.
Get it Smelling Fresh
One of the first things we notice when sitting in a car is most the scent. Whether that’s the pleasant scent of air freshener or the musty smell of old fast food wrappers, scent plays a big part in how clean the car feels.
The first thing you’ll need to do to get your car smelling clean is to remove any rubbish (especially food wrappers), followed by a dust and vacuum to remove loose dirt. Next, you’ll want to clean out your cars air con/air system. If you’re battling with a musty smell, and can’t seem to find the cause, your cars air con system could be the culprit. Trapped moisture within the air system can cause an unpleasant smell to blast out when your air conditioner or fan is running. Thankfully, cleaning out your cars air con system is easy, all you need is a can of air con cleaner/air refresher.
Air con cleaner is an aerosol spray and works by blasting a cleaning solution into your car’s interior and recycling it through your cars air system. As it makes its way into the vents, the solution will work to kill bacteria and mould caused by trapped moisture to get your car feeling and smelling fresh again!
Get in All The Nooks and Crannies
Cars are full of small and hard to reach places where dust and dirt can easily collect, but if you’re detail cleaning, a simple once-over with the vacuum cleaner will not suffice. You really need to get into those nooks and crannies and give them a good clean!
When most of us clean our cars, we use the standard vacuum attachments to get as far as possible between seats other awkward spaces. However, standard household vacuums attachments are not designed for cars! If you really want to get your car clean, you need the right tools.
Use Car Detailing Attachments
Car detailing attachments for vacuum cleaners are a game changer when it comes to interior deep cleaning. With the right attachments, you’ll be able to vacuum all those hard to reach places from the buttons on your centre console to the gaps between the seats. However, if you’re in a rush to get started or want to save a little money, a paintbrush can work almost just as well to clean between the car vents and a cardboard tube, taped to the end of a vacuum hose can help you to vacuum in awkward spots.
Get Fabrics Looking New Again
Cleaning carpet and upholstery is a no-brainer when it comes to interior detailing, but a sure-fire way to get your carpet looking like new again is to re-colour faded and worn fabric. Darker colours particularly will fade over time, especially when exposed to sunlight. Use an upholstery/fabric colorant to give life to faded fabrics and get your interior looking new again!
