When you keep your car’s interior fresh and clean, you not only enhance your everyday diving pleasure, but you also make your cabin a healthier place to be, extend the car’s longevity, and boost road safety by maximizing visibility. With all this in mind, here’s a detailed guide to great Ford interior maintenance.
Take Out All Removable Items
You wouldn’t want to superficially clean without getting to dust and grime under floor mats and seat covers. Remove everything you can before you start cleaning, including personal belongings, child safety seats, electronics and cables, and all trunk items.
Clean Your Removable Items
Before returning removable items to the car, clean them as thoroughly as possible. In particular, make sure to clean the floor mats with vacuuming, soap, and water. If your mats aren’t easy to clean, consider buying some that are. Allow everything to dry and finish cleaning the cabin before putting floor mats and seat covers back into the car.
Use Microfiber Cloth for Windows
When cleaning the windows and mirrors, use specialist Ford cleaning products and a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the glass. After spraying and wiping down the glass, use a second cloth to remove any streaks and leave your windows sparkling clean.
Vacuum Every Nook and Cranny
A large part of cabin cleaning is getting rid of dust, dirt, crumbs, and other debris with a good vacuum. Use a powerful vacuum cleaner with narrow nozzle options that can get into every corner and seat crevice.
Use a Soft-Bristled Brush on Paneling
After the windows, dirt tends to show most visibly on the door panels, dashboard, and cupholders. Use a soft-bristled brush and disinfectant wipes to thoroughly clean all these hard surfaces. You may need a more powerful degreasing product to remove stubborn stains or residue.
Install Air Fresheners with Enzymes
If you’d like to maintain that pleasant new car smell for as long as possible, install air fresheners that contain enzymes. The enzymes in these fresheners circulate throughout the cabin, gradually breaking down organic waste and odors at the source.
Protect Your Seats With Easy-Clean Covers
When it comes to keeping your cabin clean, it’s wise to take a proactive approach. As the seats are often the toughest parts to clean, protect them with covers that are easy to remove and wipe down. With seat covers, you’ll save yourself a good deal of time and hassle.
