Even if we clean ourselves everyday, if our surroundings are unclean, it will pose a risk on our health. Since we ride our cars to work, to the grocery or even to the mall, it is important that we keep it clean. The interior is the most critical area because it is where we sit throughout the ride.

Vacuuming

Take out your floor mats and vacuum the seats as well as the carpets. With the proper attachments, you can reach around the pedals, under the seats and even the sections between the central console and the front seats. It will make it easier to seep out dirt stuck in the farthest corners.

You can utilize a soft brush attachment for doors and dashboards. Be extra carful on the vents, sticking parts and knobs. You can also use this same attachment when vacuuming your seats. Since leather seats are fragile, make sure you do not accidentally scratch them with your vacuum hose.

Cleaning Door and Fabric Seat Upholstery

There are numerous kinds of upholstery cleaning agents available in the market. You can decide on what you prefer for your car upholstery. Although there are cleaning agents that make a lot of promises, your best bet is to go with a trusted brand that the majority uses.

Turtle Wax's spray cleaners are good. You can use it to evenly spray on your door and seat upholstery then rub it vigorously. After this, use a dry cloth to wipe it off thoroughly.

You can also use a laundry detergent for alternatives. Combine it with some water then dip a clean cloth in it. Make sure you squeeze it well but it is still barely moist when you use it. Work harder on the dirty sections. Once you are finished, dry it out using a dry soft and clean cloth.

Make sure you do not get water inside your car because it can get into the electrical components, resulting to problems. Aside from this, if the water gets into your seats or under your carpet, it can lead to stains, corrosion and mould smell.

Cleaning the Carpet

Similar to the method you used on cleaning your upholstery and seats, you can clean your carpets the same way. First, evenly spray your carpet with some caret cleaner and rub it vigorously. Use a dry cloth when wiping it. Laundry detergents also work well with carpets. Make sure you do not soak your carpet in water; it will lead to corrosion and mould smell. Finally, dry out your carpet.

Cleaning and Polishing the Dashboard

To clean the central console, dashboard and other plastic parts, you can just use a barely moist cloth. Utilize only small amounts of laundry detergent when removing stains. Then dry it with a dry, soft and clean cloth.
You can make it shiny by spraying plastic polish and evenly spreading it with a soft brush. Make sure you do not directly spray on your stereo. You can use a brush to do so. Afterwards, gently dry polish your dashboard. You can also use a dry, soft and clean cloth. It will make your dashboard shinier and will also protect the plastic. Periodically, you can just use a soft duster, ensuring that your dashboard will look brand new for a very long time.

Getting Rid of the Air Conditioner's Musty Smell

For unpleasant, musty smells from your air conditioner's vents when it is turned on, you can just buy odor treatment from your local auto accessories shop. It kills the mildew smell and the bacteria. A good brand is Wynn's. You simply spray it onto the outside air intake vent.

Another reason for the damp mildew smell can be a clogged air conditioner, drain tubes or an accumulation of debris under your cowl cover. You can just have your mechanic check on this the next time you have your oil changed.

For other auto cleaning and car washing issues, especially if you do not have the time to clean your car because of your very busy schedule, you can just take it to the nearest auto cleaner or car wash. I the US, the most trusted car wash chain is Auto Bell Car Wash. This was founded by Charles Howard Sr. in the year 1969.

With so many cars on the road, it is only natural that there would be a number of interesting vehicles driving down streets near us. Interesting could mean a yellow Lamborghini, or a black Audi R8, but it could also be a 10-year-old Vauxhall Corsa with a mismatched body kit glued onto the bottom but, what about the inside of the car? The interior might not be instantly apparent when you are walking down the road, but if a car stops beside you, or you notice one in the car park, you might stop and stare. Don't forget to find cheap car insurance for your vehicle before you hit the streets.

Zebra Print

It seems to come in and out of fashion throughout the years, but zebra print in cars just appears on the bad side of tacky. Zebra print is even more shocking when it is in on a faux fur fabric, which surely can't be good when it comes to keeping your car clean.

Playboy Bunny

Strangely occupying the cars of young female drivers, the Playboy Bunny symbol is matched with pink, black and white car accessories. Wheel covers, seatbelt covers, and seat covers, the bunnies are adorned everywhere. The message emitted is not one of maturity, so it's best to steer clear of this one.

Hello Kitty

Sadly there is a full range of Hello Kitty accessories for the interior of your car. It's bright, it's garish, and it's certainly quite pink. If you fancy seeing a white cartoon cat all over your car, then you may indeed suit the Hello Kitty theme.

Leopard Print

Almost as bad as zebra print, leopard print in cars is still not very easy on the eyes. It is best suited for ex-Spice Girl Mel B (Scary Spice) or else on a leopard itself. Cars are probably best left to their original design, with your personality coming through with something small like fluffy dice or an air freshener.

Cars are rather expensive modes of transportation. We want to keep it clean to keep it always looking in good condition. We make sure it is waxed to keep it very shiny and looking like brand new all the time. We do not want to see scratches on the body, and we make sure it is handled carefully whenever we bring it to a repair or car center.

But this is just the exterior part of the car. Our cars may look beautiful outside but what about the inside? It is equally important that we keep the interiors clean. After all, we sit inside our cars for several hours a day as we drive to and from work. We sometimes let passengers ride with us also.

Keeping the exteriors clean may be for aesthetic reasons, but keeping the interiors clean is largely for health reasons. We want the air we breathe inside fresh and safe. We do not want any unpleasant odors throughout the ride. We do not want to catch bacterial or viral diseases brought about by dust or dirt.

Some people wonder why you would need additional auto interior accessories if you buy a new car. There are a number of reasons why it is a good idea. We all know that as soon as you drive a new automobile off the garage forecourt, it loses a lot of value. By keeping the interior in good condition you will get a higher resale price when you trade up. You won't overcome the whole loss you have made but it will help to reduce it a little.

Buying a one year old car often makes more financial sense than buying a new car. You do not have the immediate depreciation hit. If you can handle driving around in a slightly older model, you can use the money you save on adding various auto interior accessories such as a new sound system. Usually the stereo in a car is not its best feature. It is very easy to change and well worth doing. You can add a DVD player if the car doesn't already have one.

Investing in a window shield for your windscreen is a good idea. It will help reduce the sun damage on the dashboard and is also really easy to put in.

You can invest in custom made seat covers. They fit much better than universal ones and are usually made from higher quality materials.

Why should you invest in auto interior accessories? Simple answer is that they can prolong the life of your car. You don't need to worry about the upholstery becoming tatty if you invest in some car seat covers. They not only protect your car from the damage that sun rays can cause but also from pets, kids and adult passengers.

Floor mats are also a good idea to help to keep your car clean and tidy. You may want to add a steering wheel cover particularly if you live in a state with lots of sunshine as you may find the wheel gets very hot to touch. Some people will add additional mirrors to the interior. These can be useful if you are carrying small children and want to keep an eye on them but don't let it distract you from the road.

You can add style and glamor as well as your own personality to your vehicle by investing in a couple of different auto interior accessories. Some people don't like driving the same car as everyone else. Of course if you have the budget of Tom Cruise you don't need to worry about other people having exactly the same automobile. But for us normal folk, accessories are our way of making a normal car look unique.

Another inexpensive option is to upgrade the speakers in your car. You may want to invest in a whole new sound system if you really like your music. Cars are graded on how well they perform in road safety tests not on how well the music sounds. If you have some DIY skills you will be able to change out the speakers yourself. If not, you can get it done fairly cheaply at any garage. Shop around for the best deals on stereo systems and other auto interior accessories.

Interiors have always been a major facet of modern cars but they have increasingly assumed a vital role in determining the success or failure of a vehicle in the market regardless of any other of its features. The importance of interiors can be highlighted by the fact that if you consider the recent upgrades of some of the well known cars today, the changes are mainly cosmetic and that too confined to the interiors only.

Modern cars now come equipped with high quality in-car electronics and gadgetry that comprises of digital instrument clusters, console styling and lighting, informative screens and navigational equipment, in-car entertainment systems, plush upholstery and trims and adjustable settings for almost every other feature of the car. It is hard to say what the perfect combination for a great car interior is, but there are a few car models in the market today that are turning out to be absolute eye-candies in this regard.

The next time you are interested in purchasing a vehicle, make sure you take a test drive first to analyze the interiors of the car. Each individual has his/her own tastes and what I prefer in my car cabin may not exactly be according to your liking. Most car manufacturers now offer the buyer a choice of many types of interior styles in a single car model. This includes custom built interiors that come in various colors with customized gadgetry, trims, seats and upholstery etc.

In the coming years fueled by innovations in car technology and design, we can expect some great looking car interiors that will surely sweep us off our feet. If you are buying a new car, you have a host of choices available now but in case you already have a vehicle, what can you do to improve the feel of its interiors?

We are immediately drawn towards fancy gadgetry and stylish instruments in cars and that's what increases our attachment with the vehicle.

Molded finish kits and panels can improve the looks of your car-interior dramatically. You can opt from a range of colors, textures and finish that suits your car. These kits are available online as well.
