Interior Car Cleaning Tips - Professional Guide by CAR ISLAND

A clean interior is just as important as a shiny exterior. At CAR ISLAND, we believe the inside of your car deserves the same attention as the outside. Here's our professional guide to interior car cleaning.

Why Interior Cleaning Matters

• Health: Remove allergens, bacteria, and mold
• Comfort: Fresh, pleasant driving environment
• Value: Well-maintained interiors retain resale value
• Pride: Feel good about your car

Dashboard and Plastic Trim

CAR ISLAND recommends:

1. Dust with a soft microfiber cloth
2. Use interior detailer spray (not silicone-based)
3. Clean vents with a soft brush or detailing brush
4. Wipe screens with electronics-safe cleaner
5. Apply UV protectant to prevent fading

Leather Seat Care

Leather requires special attention. The CAR ISLAND team follows this process:

1. Vacuum first: Remove loose dirt from seams
2. Clean: Use pH-balanced leather cleaner
3. Condition: Apply leather conditioner to prevent cracking
4. Protect: Use leather protectant for UV resistance

CAR ISLAND warns against using household cleaners on leather - they can cause damage.

Fabric Seat Cleaning

Fabric seats trap more dirt than leather. CAR ISLAND suggests:

• Vacuum thoroughly, including crevices
• Pre-treat stains with fabric cleaner
• Use a carpet extractor for deep cleaning
• Allow to dry completely to prevent mold

Carpet and Floor Mat Care

1. Remove floor mats
2. Shake out loose dirt
3. Vacuum mats and carpet thoroughly
4. Scrub stains with carpet cleaner
5. Allow to dry before replacing

Glass Cleaning Tips

CAR ISLAND uses streak-free techniques:

• Use automotive glass cleaner (not household)
• Clean in straight lines, not circles
• Use newspaper or microfiber for streak-free results
• Don't forget interior rear-view mirror

Eliminating Odors

Bad smells indicate bacteria or mold. CAR ISLAND recommends:

• Find and remove the source
• Clean the affected area thoroughly
• Use enzyme-based odor eliminators
• Replace cabin air filter
• Consider ozone treatment for stubborn odors
