We should not neglect the cleaning of the passenger compartment of the car, because it really is one of those places where we spend more time. In addition, the car, whose interior is dirty or in poor condition, will leave a bad impression on all those people who got into it. Therefore, we must be careful with the cleaning of the passenger compartment and pay the necessary attention to it. For this, we will establish a clean order.

Take out all your car mats. Depending on the material, you must clean them one way or another. For example, if they are rubber, just shake them to remove all dust and possible debris from the dirt. Then apply pressurized water with a hose and let them air dry, then replace them. If, on the contrary, the mats are made of cloth, the best option is to use a brush to remove contaminated dirt.

Steam cleaning is an excellent method for refreshing your car interior. It consists of three stages: removal of dry garbage; steam generator treatments; drying. After treatment with a steam generator, all surfaces remain slightly wet and dry quickly. Then you can pass the vacuum cleaner, but you should not use water. After removing and cleaning all the mats, you have to empty the rest of the car. It's time to vacuum the entire floor, seats and dashboard. In the latter case, you will pay more attention to a more thorough cleaning.

Use a special cleaning fluid for the car interior or prepare a mixture with water, a few ammonia and soap. Use a cloth for the entire dashboard part, as well as for the steering wheel and doors. For smaller areas, such as the center console space, you can help with the brush to better reach all angles. It is very important to thoroughly clean the interior of the car to remove all the dirt from the most difficult corners.

Car window cleaning is extremely important. To be able to clean them, both outside and inside, is crucial, otherwise it can cause reflections from the sun, which can damage our vision when moving. You can use certain products to clean car windows, as well as use the window cleaner that you use at home, and apply it in the same way as with glass and mirrors in your home.

Dry cleaning is the second method which can be used for car carpet maintenance. It includes the following steps: vacuuming; cleaning with foam or spray; drying. This type of cleaning is called "dry", as it eliminates the use of water. Foam or other chemicals are applied only to problem areas. You can help yourself with kitchen paper to dry them, as they leave a good result. Apply the wiper to all windows, doors and rear and front windows.

It is time to clean the upholstery area. You have to clean the car carpets with a vacuum cleaner, eliminating all remnants of dirt. Now look at the possible spots. If you find some, use a spray bottle and a brush to rub these dirty areas. Sprayer can be found in any specialty store. If you want to remove animal hair, use a roller for clothes.

Once you have cleared your entire car, you should keep it as good as possible. For this, a good scent can help. One of the most effective tricks is putting lavender seeds in an ashtray, as it will maintain a pleasant environment for much longer. In addition, you can use any other air freshener for cars. There is a wide variety of choices: jasmine, vanilla, even the smell of delicacy. 

When you apply specific cleaning product on your car carpet, you should test it in advance. The main purpose of the test is to determine the ability of the cleaning product to remove combined and old contaminants, which can usually be seen on a car's textile finish. It should be noted that not all compositions, even from the most famous brands, could bring upholstery and carpets in their original appearance. However, the leaders of the test are able to compete even with expensive auto-cleaning.

Not always an expensive car interior cleaner is the most appropriate choice in terms of efficiency. In certain cases, the budget composition is able to show more worthy productivity than an expensive equivalent.

It is necessary to point out that not all car owners who know how to clean upholstery salon, adhere to the general rules of using a cleaning product. And if the technology is violated, the end result may not meet the expectations.

If there are no particularly difficult contaminants in your car's interior, the removal of which requires professional intervention, you can clean it yourself.
