How to Properly Clean the Interior of Your Vehicle

What do weekends at the beach, family hikes with the dog, and long roadtrips to sport tournaments all have in common? They usually result in the interior of your vehicle becoming messy from either sand, dirt, pet hair, or crumbs and wrappers from snacks- a small price to pay for memories that will last a lifetime. In between one adventure and the next, it is a good idea to give the interior of your vehicle a good clean, but where to start? Read on to find out the best way to clean the inside of your vehicle like a pro.

If needed, you can wipe it again using an automotive cleaner that is suitable for your type of dash. Make sure you spray the cleaner directly into the cloth so it doesn't get on surfaces it's not suppose to.

Avoid commercial detailing sprays that leave the dashboard shiny, wet-looking, or glossy because this can create glare. If applying a protectant to your dash to protect from fading and cracking due to UV, avoid putting it on any important high-touch surfaces like the steering wheel or gear shift, as this can negatively impact your ability to grip properly while operating the vehicle.

The inside of your windows should be wiped down once a month. Not only will this prevent a dirt film from developing, it will also help prevent your windows from fogging up.

Caution

Do not use window or glass cleaner on any touchscreens in your vehicle! It may remove the screen's anti-glare, anti-fingerprint and other protective coatings. Your best bet is to wipe with a clean microfiber cloth. For really stubborn dirt, you can lightly dampen a corner of the cloth with water, or use a cleaning spray specially designed to gently clean touchscreens.
