1. Clear your Car of all Unnecessary Items

It might have been a while since you looked properly inside your car. There could be lots of things that are not needed there. Remove all unwanted items like water bottles, receipts, and other trash. This is also a good opportunity to organize things like toys, books, magazines, and small bags. Take these things out if you no longer need them inside your car.

2. Remove Dust and Small Dirt Particles

Use a soft brush and vacuum to rid your car of dust and dirt. Begin with the upper parts like the window, center console, and dashboard. Then dust off the seats, upholstery, under the seats and the carpet. Pay attention to hard-to-reach areas, nooks and crannies, and even small buttons.

3. Wipe off Stains with Magic Eraser

Sometimes you need to remove more than dust and small dirt inside your car. There could be coffee spills, candy or chocolate stains, crayon and other ink marks. Use a magic eraser or any stain remover to clean everything. Make sure not to rub too hard though because it can damage the leather and vinyl, and be sure to check all products prior to putting them on you car to confirm they won’t injure the fabric/interior.

4. Clean the Vehicle Interior with Soft Towel

Check your car manual for liquid cleaners that you can use for your car interior. Spray some to a soft towel then wipe all parts to make sure everything is clean, from the center console, buttons on the dashboard, inside the windows, to the car seats.

5. Put Air Fresheners Up

After cleaning everything, make sure to air dry the inside of your car. Then, install an air freshener to keep the clean smell of inside. Choose a scent that is clean but powerful.
