How often do you clean the interior of your car, friends? The interior of the car is just as important as the exterior, you know. Although it is not directly visible from the outside, the cleanliness of the car's interior can affect your comfort while inside the car.

So, which parts of the car's interior should be cleaned regularly and how to clean them? Pay close attention, friends.

Car Dashboard

The dashboard of the car is the part of the interior that is most often exposed to sunlight and is the easiest to get dirty. Dust that settles on the dashboard can be cleaned using a duster. To wipe the parts of the dashboard, you can use a special cleaner. If you don't have a special cleaner, warm water is also sufficient, friends.

Wipe the parts of the dashboard gently. Be careful not to cause scratches on the dashboard. After wiping with a special cleaner or warm water, dry it using a clean cloth.

If you want your car's dashboard to look shinier, you can apply UV protection liquid to keep the dashboard protected from car signals.

To prevent your car's dashboard from getting dusty easily, park in an area that is not directly exposed to sunlight or park indoors. You can also use a windshield cover to minimize the effect of sunlight on the car's interior.

Car Seats

Generally, car seats are the part of the interior that receives the least attention. In fact, the cleanliness of car seats is very important to consider. Car seat materials consist of three different types: genuine leather, semi-leather, and velvet. Each type of material has different cleaning methods.

For friends with genuine leather seats, you can clean them using a special cleaner for leather seats. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean hard-to-reach areas.

For friends with semi-leather seats, you can use glass cleaner. Similar to leather seats, it is advisable to use a vacuum cleaner to clean the hard-to-reach parts of the seats.

For friends with velvet seats, use a special cleaner for velvet materials. Before cleaning with that special liquid, first clean the seats with a vacuum cleaner.

Car Mats and Rubber Floor Mats

These two parts of the car's interior are the ones that often get dirty because they are stepped on. To clean them, first clean the removable rubber floor mats. Clean until dirt and dust are no longer visible. After that, clean the underside of the rubber floor mats using a small broom or vacuum cleaner. Once the underside of the rubber floor mats is clean, don't forget to reinstall them in the correct position, friends.

Car Ceiling

Don't forget to clean the car ceiling or headliner, friends. The cleaning method is also easy; just wipe all parts of the ceiling with a damp cloth that has been rinsed with warm water. Clean thoroughly into all corners. After that, wipe again using a clean dry cloth.

Well, those are the ways you can do to clean the parts of your car's interior. Make your car clean not only on the outside but also on the inside. Do this regularly two to three times a month, friends. I hope you always feel comfortable driving and being in your own car.
