Cleaning car interiors is a very annoying thing. Every car owner loves car maintenance. Car maintenance is not only about comprehensive engine maintenance, but also about cleaning the interior of the car. But how to properly clean each part of the car? Wowiper summarizes the experience of some car maintenance groups and shares it with customers:

 

1. How to clean the carpet in the car?

The easiest thing to get dirty in the car is the carpet. Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush head, you can clean carpets that are not very dirty. For very dirty carpets, you can only use special detergents to clean them.

First remove the dust, then spray an appropriate amount of detergent, scrub it with a brush, and finally wipe off the excess detergent with a clean rag, so that the washed carpet can be clean and soft.

It is recommended not to completely soak the carpet in water. On the one hand, it will destroy the bonding of several layers of different materials inside the carpet; on the other hand, it will prevent the carpet from drying out for a long time and cause moisture in the car.

 

2. How to remove the dye on the carpet?

When eating food containing ketchup in the car, if the carpet is accidentally contaminated, or lipstick and other dyes are accidentally printed on the carpet and seats, you can wipe it with a towel soaked in cold water, or gently wipe it with a sponge, and then wash it with a foam cleaner. Never use soap or hot water to clean and wipe. Stains left by coffee, cola, ice cream, etc. cannot be cleaned with soap and hot water. You can only wipe it with a towel soaked in cold water first, and then wash it with a foam cleaner.

3: How to clean the leather seats and leather surfaces on door panels?

The leather part of the car must also choose a neutral detergent. If you don’t use a neutral detergent, it will cause discoloration, breakage, and then peeling. The light-colored seats will turn yellow, which seriously affects the use time of the leather seats. The brush must be a pig hair brush or a horse hair brush, which will not harm the leather. If you use a sponge or other brushes, it is equivalent to using sandpaper to rub the seats.

 

4. How to maintain the car’s mahogany interior?

In daily maintenance, often use a soft wet cloth to wipe off the dust stuck on the mahogany interior to maintain the normal gloss of the mahogany. Remember not to wipe it directly with a dry and hard cloth, and do not use acidic or alkaline liquids, which will damage the gloss of the mahogany.

 

5. How to clean the dashboard, door frame, gear rubber and plastic parts?

It is recommended to use foam detergent for these plastic parts of the dashboard door frame, spray evenly, wipe it with a dry rag after 3 to 5 minutes, and then wipe it several times with clean water.

 

6. How to wax the car’s mahogany interior?

When waxing the car, you can apply a little wax on the mahogany interior, and then quickly wipe its surface with a soft wet cloth. The dull phenomenon of the mahogany interior is because the gloss of the gloss glaze on it is reduced, and the purpose of car waxing is to make the gloss glaze shine again. The wiping speed must be fast to achieve good results.

7. How to clean the car’s ceiling?

The car ceiling is in a special position and is basically not contaminated with other dirt, mainly because the flannel has adsorption properties. The pollutants are mostly smoke, dust and grease on the head. It is difficult to use a machine for cleaning, and it can only be operated manually. Spray the detergent on the dirt, wait for a while, use a clean cotton cloth to absorb the dirty liquid in the ceiling, and then wipe from the edge of the stain to the center. If the dirt is serious, repeat the above operation. After cleaning, use another clean cotton cloth to smooth it along the direction of the fluff on the roof to restore it to its original state.

 

8. How to clean the air-conditioning outlet?

It is recommended to use soft glue to clean some dead corners of the air-conditioning outlet that cannot be cleaned. Multifunctional cleaning soft glue, dead corner stains can be cleaned as soon as it is touched, natural ingredients do not hurt hands, strong viscosity and no need to be cleaned, and can be recycled and reused.

 

9. How to clean the seat belt?

The seat belt is too dirty and will stain the driver’s clothes. When cleaning the seat belt, it is not necessary to remove it. It should be scrubbed with light soapy water first, and then washed with clean water. Do not roll up the belt immediately after washing, but dry it in a cool place first.

 

10. Other precautions

It is also recommended to use a vacuum cleaner rag and clean water to clean the ceiling, carpet, and knitted seats. Try to scrub them with clean water first. It is recommended to use a neutral foam cleaner for places that cannot be washed! Do not use strong detergents, bleaching powder, and chemical cleaners, and do not expose the seat belts to the sun. The detergent must be neutral, less corrosive, and will cause much less damage to the fabric seat ceiling. If other foam cleaners are used, the ceiling may fall off. Remember to wipe it with clean water after washing with neutral detergents!
