It’s important to regularly deep-clean your car to protect you, passengers, and so you can enjoy a comfortable journey. If you want to thoroughly clean your car but aren’t sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place.

Here’s how to deep clean your car.

Quantas vezes você deve limpar seu veículo?

Before we discuss how to clean the interior of car with household products, it’s important to know how frequently to clean it.

If you carpool, have school pickups, and trips to work, clean the interior twice a month and get a professional detailing twice a year. As a general rule, you should wash your car every two weeks unless there’s irregular dirt or bird dropping that needs immediate attention.

Como limpar profundamente o seu carro

We’ve covered how often to clean the inside of a car so now we’ll show you how to do this. Luckily, you don’t need to splurge on a range of expensive cleaning agents as most of the products are multi-purpose.

Here’s how to clean your car.

Use um aspirador

A melhor maneira de limpar o carpete de um carro é aspirar primeiro. Muitos proprietários começam lavando-o com shampoo, mas isso significa que o piso fica sujo quando você limpa as superfícies superiores.

Always start from the top and work your way down. Vacuum the headliners, dash, console, and door panels until it’s spotless.

Limpar atrás dos assentos

Slide your seats forward and you’ll be amazed at how much loose change or lost pens there are.

Once you’ve removed the junk, vacuum the seats and the area behind. Switch to a brush attachment so it can clean the dash and door panels.

You should also reach your vehicle’s nooks and crannies. To do this, wrap a cloth around an old, blunt screwdriver and spray an all-purpose cleaner on the cloth and clean out the trim lines.

Elimine odores

Whether it’s the lingering smell of tobacco or McDonald’s, grab a can of air freshener and lightly spray the headliner, seats, and door panels at an arm’s length.

Em seguida, ligue o ventilador no máximo para que o ar circule. Deixe as janelas fechadas por uma hora para que, ao retornar, seu carro cheire a fresco novamente.

Você também pode use bicarbonato de sódio para remover odores do chão ou dos assentos. Polvilhe uma quantidade generosa sobre as áreas afetadas e deixe durante a noite. De manhã, passe o aspirador e o odor desaparecerá.

Vinil de limpeza

If you’re unsure how to clean a car, focus on cleaning the vinyl. Dab all-purpose cleaner on a microfiber cloth and wipe down the dashboard, instrument panel, door handles, glove box, side compartments, and steering wheel.

A melhor maneira de limpar a rachadura entre o volante e a coluna é deslizar um pano de microfibra úmido entre os dois e trabalhar para remover a poeira. Faça o mesmo com as ombreiras da porta.

Don’t Forget Cup Holders

Spray cleaning solution on the inside and outside of the cupholders. Grab a brush and scrub the inside until it’s clean. Then wipe down the cup holders with a microfiber cloth.

Limpe o estofamento

Consider your car’s upholstery as different materials require specific cleaning methods. For instance, only clean leather with a lotion-based cleaner as it’s a hide and will crack under watery cleansers.

O limpador de couro também funciona com vinil, mas você deve limpar um pano com uma mistura de água sanitária alternativa e água.

Tapetes para esfregar

Remova os tapetes e limpe-os com uma solução de sabão. Use uma escova para remover as manchas difíceis e enxágue.

Hang the floor mats to dry before replacing them in your car. While the mats are drying, scrub the carpet with an auto carpet cleaner. Avoid soaking the carpet otherwise it won’t properly dry and you’ll end up with mold or mildew problems.

To ensure it’s pristine, book an appointment with a car detailer as they have the equipment and expertise to clean your vehicle.

Lavar janelas e espelhos

Not only is a grubby window unattractive, but it’s also a safety hazard.

Grab a microfiber cloth, fold it into fourths, and spray the window with an auto window cleaner. If you’re struggling with streaks, wipe the window horizontally and polish with a dry cloth in a vertical direction.

And don’t forget to clean the tops of windows otherwise you’ll get a line of grime when you slightly roll your windows down.

Limpar e polir o exterior

Get a cleaner formulated for vehicles as regular dish soap detergent removes important oils from the paint’s finish.

Encha um balde com seu limpador especializado e encha outro com água de enxágue limpa.

Grab a wash mitt and use it to clean your car’s exterior as it removes dirt and prevents scratches. When it’s spotless, apply polish to a clean pad and wipe it across the entire car.

Make sure you’re generous with the polish so it soaks in. Then lustrar o polonês over the vehicle and you’re done!

That’s How to Deep Clean Your Car

Agora você sabe como limpar seu carro.

It’s important to remove junk, vacuum the interior, and wipe down high-touch areas so no grime remains. Eliminate odors using baking soda and remember to clean your windows as they’re a safety issue.

Limpar o carro regularmente é importante, mas contrate um profissional duas vezes por ano para uma limpeza profunda para manter você e sua família saudáveis. Boa sorte!
