Auto details performed by professionals keep your vehicle in top condition. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to maintain the level of cleanliness in between services. If you want to extend the results of your detail between appointments, take a look at some of the helpful tips below.

7 Tips for Keeping Cars Clean Between Auto Details

1. Have a Designated Trash Bag

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to prevent wrappers, napkins, cups, and other trash from accumulating in your car is to have a designated receptacle for it. Some drivers simply use a disposable grocery bag, while others prefer a sturdier container.

2. Stomp Out Shoes

Prevent dirt from finding a home in your vehicle’s floors by stomping out your shoes before you get in. This will loosen gravel, dirt, and grass clippings which may be lingering in the treads of your shoes.

Even when you make it a habit to stomp out your shoes, some debris will still accumulate in your floor mats. Give them a good shake weekly to prevent the dirt and grime from settling and caking.

4. Keep Wipes on Hand

From spilled coffee to toppled sippy cups, messes can happen to children and adults. Keep a pack of wipes in your glove compartment to wipe up messes quickly and keep hands clean.

5. Lay a Blanket Down

If you’re transporting a four-legged friend, a blanket can collect hair. It’s also a good idea to lay a blanket down if you’re transporting anything potentially messy inside your cabin.  

6. Vacuum Often

Cleaning is simplest when you keep up with it regularly. When you vacuum often, the task is much more manageable. Aim for a quick once-over with your portable vacuum every week.

7. Use an Upholstery Protectant

Lastly, the best way to prevent damage to your upholstery is to use a protectant spray. Be sure to choose the right variety for your fabric type, and follow the instructions on the bottle to prevent any damage.
