The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about cleaning your car is probably not what you would expect. You may think of an expensive vacuum cleaner or even a pressure washer. But in reality, there are many ways to get the job done without spending a lot of money.
It is important to have a powerful vacuum cleaner and the right attachments to reach tight spaces. There are handheld vacuum cleaners that can be directly plugged on the cigarette lighter, but not all of them offer a strong suction power, so consider having a standard wet/dry vacuum cleaner with a long power cord to make sure you will reach all spots.
Attachments
The crevice tool is one of the most common tools for getting into those small places that get really dirty and dusty and where you cannot reach easily. These tight spots can give you trouble, so the crevice tool is your best option!
The brush tool is also very useful because it helps cleaning the car floor by removing food crumbs, sand and dirt. It’s especially helpful if you want to remove stains from the carpet. The brush attachment is also great for cleaning pet hair. The brush bristles work well to remove dust and dirt from the leather. To keep leather looking its best, use a leather conditioner after using the brush to ensure no damage occurs.
The telescopic wand, which extends the reach of your vacuum cleaner is great for reaching under seats, behind seatbelts, and other hard-to-reach spots.
For cleaning your car seats, the upholstery tool is perfect. It has a soft bristled head that cleans upholstery without scratching or tearing the fabric. Make sure you spray a static guard on the car seats to help clean the surface. Leather seats usually don’t need to be sprayed with the static guard.
Last, but not least, it is also important to have a flexible hose tool that will also help with those hard-to-reach spaces.
You can find a cleaning kit that suits your needs at a car shop or online. Make sure the cleaning kit matches your vacuum cleaner, read the user’s guide and let your car shine!
