Address Lingering Odors

When cold weather hits, it can be tempting to put off cleaning your vehicle for a few months which can lead to some building odors. To keep everything smelling fresh, address the two most common causes of car odor during your spring clean including dirty upholstery and dirty air vents. To clean your vents, use an air sprayer with a long thin nozzle to blow any dust out from inside the vents that may be trapping odors. Then, clean vent itself with a small piece of fabric or a toothbrush to get into the small ridges.

To clean your upholstery, remove any pet hair or debris with a vacuum cleaner and then use upholstery fabric cleaner and/or a handheld steam cleaner to clean deep down. Be sure to test any new products on a small inconspicuous spot before covering your entire seat in case of a negative reaction.

Remove Winter Salt

If your fabric floor mats are covered in salt from the winter streets, vacuum off any large pieces of debris and then scrub the area with a mixture of vinegar and water. This should remove any leftover stains. The inside of your car isn’t the only place vulnerable to salt, be sure to also give your exterior a good wash and don’t skip your undercarriage with salt can build up.  Check out our Detailing Packages and schedule your appointment today!
