Car Cleaning Hacks With Household Items

It’s springtime and a great time to start your spring cleaning! It can be hard to get yourself to clean your N Charlotte Toyota and expensive to buy cleaning supplies. Here at Toyota of N Charlotte, we want to make sure you can clean your car on a budget and without hauling yourself to the store to get supplies. Today, we will be giving you the best car cleaning hacks with items you’ll be able to find in your household! Let’s get into it. 

Use your old makeup brush! 

Did you know that you can use your makeup brush to clean parts of the car, like the vents, dashboard, and small areas? It’s one of the best household items for dusting! Just make sure you clean your makeup brush before and see it work! 

Keep the upholstery looking great with baking soda.

Do you have a stain on your seats? If you’re having a hard time cleaning out a stain, the good news is this will help it disappear! Just mix ¼ cup of baking soda with a cup of warm water and place it on the stain. Next, you’ll want to scrub it out with a toothbrush. Let the solution sit for around 30 minutes if it’s a tough stain. 

Polish your dashboard with olive oil.

Oil is something that many people have in their household pantries. Oil is an excellent polish that eliminates odd smells from chemical cleaners. After you dust your dashboard with your makeup brush, take a small amount of oil on a microfiber cloth and wipe down your dashboard. 

Cupcake liners in your cup holders.

You’re probably tired of cleaning out your cup holders. They’re that specific place in your N Charlotte Toyota that loves collecting dirt and spills. We have a quick and easy solution: put cupcake liners in your cup holders! 

Get a conditioner with lanolin in it. 

Conditioner is an excellent polish for the outside of your N Charlotte Toyota. Cleaning the exterior of your car can be tricky in spring. There’s pollen falling onto your car and there can be all sorts of things from nature getting on your N Charlotte Toyota too. You can take your car in to get a free car wash after your service and then polish your car by combining two cups of water in a bucket and adding half a cup of hair conditioner. Next, use your microfiber cloth and smooth it over your N Charlotte Toyota. 

Grab your Toothbrush and toothpaste.

Don’t throw your old Toothbrush away! Instead, bring it out to your car and use it to brush out the dirt from the crevices in your N Charlotte Toyota. You can apply your toothpaste in circular motions on your headlights and wipe it off with a gentle cloth for headlights that look brand-new! 

Make Some Slime!

If you’re a parent, you probably have some slime lying around somewhere. Thank you, children, for your creative activities, and use it to clean out the crumbs and car vents. 

Stock up on Dryer Sheets.

Dryer sheets are great to help with your N Charlotte Toyota’s scent. Place the dryer sheets underneath your seats, and over time you will notice a pleasant smell. They also help eliminate bugs from the exterior of your N Charlotte Toyota, just use them to swipe them off.
