Cars are more than a means of transport. For some, they are treasured possessions. No one forgets the feeling of driving a car for the first time or better yet owning one. Taking care of a car goes beyond maintaining the engine and changing the oil. More often than not, car owners overlook the fact that a clean car lasts longer and retains a new look for an extended period. This is especially true for the car’s interior.
Keeping a clean car interior involves a lot more than washing it. Here are a few things you can do to keep everything squeaky clean.
Install seat covers
Seat covers are not only installed for aesthetic purposes but also to keep your car seats clean. They protect your seats from all types of dirt. The ideal seat covers are water resistant and stain resistant. They are designed to stop any dirt or stain from making it to the material on your car seat. Seat covers are designed for an exact fit. Some are standard for use in different models while others are customized. Choice of color and material is purely based on personal preference. Nonetheless, there are many options to choose from.
Get a place for your trash
A lot of trash is generated inside a car and food is to be blamed for majority of it. Once you have downed a snaked or eaten a whole meal from a drive through fast food spot, what remains needs to make it to the trash. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. Having an exclusive place to put your trash makes it easy to dispose it. A small trash bag that can be safely tucked away in the glove compartment is enough for the job. If you own a van or a minivan a small bin could come in handy.
Get mats and cargo liners
Car floor mats go a long way in keeping the interior of your car clean. They ensure the mud on your shoes doesn’t spoil your interior. Since passengers don’t get to remove their shoes when boarding a car, car mats are a great investment. Cargo liners also ensure your trunk remains clean. Whether you are loading farm equipment or industrial tools into your trunk, the cargo liners will keep the compartment clean.
Clean the surfaces
In case you get stains or dirt on your interior surfaces, you can grab a rag or a brush and get down to cleaning. Most smudges and stains come off easily with a little soap and water. The floor surface is harder to clean but it’s not impossible. Commercial stain removers can give great results if you choose the right ones. If the task is too complicated, call in the experts.
