Protecting the Carpets
Fitting loose rubber mats can be a great help. They will
prevent the worst dirt from soiling the carpets and they can simply be lifted
out and brushed or washed of when cleaning the car.
Using Cleaning Material
A large range of interior cleaning products is available,
including various types of upholstery cleaner, dashboard cleaner and carpet
cleaner. Shop around to buy the products that will suit your needs and car. You
do not need a cupboard full of products but the right products will be more
than adequate - and remember something to keep your car smelling fresh.
Get a Vacuum Cleaner
A good vacuum cleaner will be a big help. Regular vacuuming
will make interior cleaning a lot easier. And do not forget to vacuum under the
seats and the boot. Car vacuum cleaners are inexpensive and usually come with a
range of attachments to reach awkward nooks and crannies.
Looking after the Seats
Check the seats for dirt marks and use a fabric cleaner to deal
with it. Allow any damped seats to dry before using the car. A wet-and-dry
vacuum cleaner can speed up the drying process.
Caring for the Windows
Windows are best cleaned using chamois leather and stubborn
stains can be removed with a household glass cleaner, buffing finally with a
soft cloth.
