Let’s face it, in this ever-evolving world we are always on the go. According to multiple new studies, the average American spends roughly 18 days total in their car a year. If you’re going to spend that long in a car, why not make sure it’s clean? Here at McLarty Daniel Ford in Bentonville, we have put together a list of the easiest ways to keep your car’s interior clean while on the go.
Daily maintenance
Perhaps one of the easiest ways to keep your car clean is to declutter it. Let’s face it, we all have a pile of water bottles in our passenger seat, but instead of tossing the next one into the pile once you reach your destination, take a minute and pick up anything that doesn’t belong in your car. Whether that means throwing away that mountain of water bottles or even putting fast food trash in the garbage, by doing this daily you’ll save yourself from having to clean up a massive mess in the future.
Vacuum
Vacuuming your car consistently prevents carpets from becoming stained or discolored, which ultimately could result in a higher resale value. Not only can vacuuming help with resale value, but it can also remove particles of dirt and allergens from your car’s interior, giving you a cleaner and healthier space.
Wipe it down
We recommend carrying a microfiber cloth in your vehicle, so you can wipe down your dash as it becomes dusty over time. Keeping a microfiber towel in your car can also help you wipe out any crumbs within the cup holders and remove any fingerprints that may accumulate on your vehicle’s touchscreen infotainment center.
Crystal clear
If you happen to take your car through a carwash, you’ll see immediate results with a shiny exterior, but once you pull out of that lot, you may notice smudges and smears on the interior windows that the carwash couldn’t get. We recommend once you wash the exterior of your car to also follow up with a glass cleaning solution on the interior windows as well.
Once you’ve taken care of the interior, let us take care of your vehicle’s engine!
