Hey Lykkers! Are you tired of looking at the sparkling exterior of your car, just to be disappointed by the mess inside? We get it!

Cleaning the inside of your car can be a hassle, especially if it has been neglected for some time. But fear not, we're here to help you whip your car's interior into shape without breaking the bank.

Start Big, Finish Fine

The key to cleaning your car's interior effectively is to start with the big stuff and work your way down to the nitty-gritty details.

Begin by removing any large items like water bottles or coffee cups, then move on to vacuuming and fine cleaning. This way, you won't be shuffling around big chunks of garbage while trying to focus on the smaller areas.

Thorough Vacuuming is Key

After removing larger items, give your car's interior a thorough vacuuming. Use various attachments to reach deep crevices and under the seats. Attachments like a cardboard tube or the top of a squeeze bottle can help you get into those hard-to-reach spots and ensure a comprehensive clean.

Floor Mats Matter

Don't forget about your floor mats! Depending on the material, use upholstery cleaner for fabric mats or dish soap for rubber mats. Give them a good scrub and hang them to dry. You'll be surprised by the amount of dust that comes off even a small mat.

Seat Cleaning Depends on Material

Cleaning your seats varies based on the material. For leather seats, a wipe-down with a damp rag or leather cleaner is necessary. For fabric seats, spritz with upholstery cleaner, brush, and wipe with a soft cloth. Let them air dry with windows down or removed if possible.

Dash and Windows Detailing

Use a common household cleaner for the dashboard and center console, and a microfiber cloth for glass elements. Clean windows by treating them with an alcohol-based glass cleaner and a dry microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine.

Steering Wheel TLC

Treat your steering wheel with care, using a rag and common household cleaner or mild soap and warm water. Regularly disinfect high-touch areas like the steering wheel, armrests, and other surfaces for a clean and germ-free environment.

Don't Forget the Trunk

Lastly, don't neglect your trunk! Vacuum it, treat the trunk mat like floor mats, and use odor-neutralizing spray if needed. For stubborn odors, consider using an ozone generator in a well-ventilated space.
