Tips for keeping your car interior clean - USE AN ORGANISER

If you feel inundated by the quantity of litter that accumulates inside the car,  consider getting a car organizer. You can keep it behind the driver's/ passenger's seat, or in the cargo area. You can buy one from a big-box retail shop or from an automobile parts retailer. Keep things, such as toys for your kids during the travel, media adapters, cell phone chargers, and tissues inside the organizer. This will allow you eliminate the clutters in bulk by just cleaning the organizer, rather than picking up one by one. This will make your cleaning job easy and quick, as well.

2. Keep a hoard of garbage bags readily available

A garbage bag will aid you considerably in stuffing the unnecessary receipts. You can keep it on the centre console, inside the glove box, or in the car organizer. Purchase a garbage bag or reuse a plastic shopping or grocery bag. Whenever you go out, pick the trash, put it in the garbage bag and throw it out.

3. Append an extra protective layer

Even though most modern day cars come prepared with floor mats from the dealership, they do not offer enough protection at all times. If the interior carpet of your car is stained, tattered, or frayed, it will considerably reduce the resale value of your car, besides making it difficult to clean. Therefore, maintain the value of your car by installing tough and durable floor mats. You can buy customizable cut-to-fit ground carpets from any auto parts seller in your area. You can also order a custom-fit ground mat from an online seller, which is customized to your car. While buying a floor mat, take care to buy a vinyl or plastic mat, as it will make your cleaning job a breeze.

4. Park your car in a place that offers enough shadow 

Park your car in shadow

As far as possible, try to park your car where it gets the maximum shadow. This is for the reason that some of the vital interior parts of your car, such as the leather upholstered seats, dashboard, etc., will be damaged when they are continuously exposed to the harmful rays of the sun. Sometimes, the seats will be susceptible to more damage, such as color fading, cracks, dryness, etc., due to the heat of the sun. You can also consider installing your vehicle with heat protecting visors for the windshields in its front and at its back. These visors will protect the interior of your vehicle by preventing the rays of sun from entering it. Furthermore, you will not feel the car interior hot, as well, after your extended shopping.

5. Consider installing bottle and cup holders

However, when you install a bottle holder or a cup holder, you can instruct your kids to position the empty containers in the holders. This will not only keep your car interior clean, but it will also help your kids to follow a clean practice.

By following the five above-mentioned tips, you will not only be capable of keeping the interior of your car neat and tidy, but it will also make the cleaning task easy and quick.
