Not only does your car look great when you keep up with the cleaning, but it can also be beneficial to your health and the health of your passengers. Not only that, keeping your car “like new” can increase its resale value by hundreds, or even thousands of dollars.
Samarins.com has a few helpful tips for keeping your car’s interior (no matter how old) looking and smelling great. The best part, you probably have a majority of what you need right at home.

Vacuuming

If you have a decent vacuum with attachments, you’re in good shape. Remove the floor mats and vacuum those separately. Using the proper attachment, vacuum the seats and the carpet, reach under the seats, around the pedals and the area between the front seats and the center console. Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum the dashboard, vents, knobs, and so on. Use the same attachment to vacuum leather seats; they can be easily damaged or scratched with the vacuum hose.

Cleaning Fabric Seats and Carpet

To spot clean your seats and carpet, you can use a number of cleaning agents available at your local store. After choosing one that is right for you, be sure to follow all directions provided by the company. Typically, the directions would say to shake the can before using, spray evenly on the upholstery or carpet, and to rub the spot till it is gone. Repeat on all the seats and carpet. Just be sure you don’t soak the upholstery and carpet with the cleaner.

Cleaning the Windows

Be sure to clean all the windows from the outside and inside. A window-cleaning spray and glass-cleaning towel will do a good job. Just be careful when you clean the rear window from the inside. If your vehicle has heating lines for the defogger, they can be easy to damage. Use a parallel wiping motion.

Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...
