A clean car interior takes 10 minutes a week to maintain – or two hours to restore after a month of neglect.
Weekly:
- Remove all trash and items that do not belong.
- Shake out or vacuum floor mats.
- Wipe dashboard and center console with a damp microfiber cloth.
- Clean the inside of the windshield with glass cleaner.
Monthly: vacuum all seats, wipe door panels, clean cup holders.
Keep a small trash bag in the car and microfiber wipes in the glove compartment. The barrier to staying clean drops dramatically when the tools are already there.
