When cleaning the upholstery be sure to do a thorough run with the vacuum, including the cracks between the seats, using a narrow and long attachment. For plastic on the dashboard or the car doors, use a brush attachment to push the dust onto the floor before hoovering the footwells. For the dashboard, it’s best to use devoted wipes or trim cleaner that can either leave a matte or gloss finish depending on your preference.
Clean the seats and surrounding area with an upholstery cleaner that’s compatible with the seat material to avoid bleaching or water marks. There are a variety of cleaners on the market so it’s important to do your research; those that are water-based are best for soft fabrics, while foams and gels work best on tough stains. If you’re not sure whether a cleaner will change the fabric’s colour or texture, test it on an inconspicuous area before use. Once your interior is sparkling, you may want to pop in a new air freshener for a finishing touch.
