Every car needs a little attention every once in awhile. Some people are great with upkeep of their cars, while the rest of us may need some help — or at least some suggestions for tips and tricks for making it shine! In today’s Canyon Park Apartments Blog we’ll be sharing some tips on how to keep your car looking great.
Throw away trash and vacuum. The first step when cleaning out your car is to throw away trash. Get rid of other items that shouldn’t be in there as well, including jackets, books, shoes, snacks, or other items that you haven’t taken inside your apartment yet. Take time to then vacuum off the seats and floors. Make sure to get into all the crevices of the vehicle, including between and under the seats and in other small compartments.
Use a toothbrush or small brush for dirt and spills. Arm rests, cup holders, and seats can get very dirty. Wipe off all surfaces with a warm, soapy washcloth then use a toothbrush to scrub up extra dirty areas. A magic eraser is a great tool as well for those dirty areas that aren’t coming up with a toothbrush.
Dust off surfaces with a coffee filter. After the surfaces are wiped clean, dust may still be lurking from the cloth or from dust in the air. Use a coffee filter to wipe up that dust. According to The Krazy Coupon Lady, “Coffee filters are made of a lint-free paper that is perfect for dusting!”
Use compressed air for dusting. For the areas that you can’t reach that still need dusting, use a can of compressed air. It will work great for vents and small crevices around buttons.
Wipe off grime on headlights with toothpaste. Toothpaste is a mild abrasive cleaner that works well to make your headlights shine again. Use a cloth to rub the toothpaste around, then wipe it clean.
