clean the inside of the car-how to wash the car-tips to clean the car

La limpieza de tu vehículo no solo comprende lo que se ve. A veces, la limpieza  –como la belleza, que diría el famoso cuento infantil– está en el interior. Por ello, hemos consultado a los profesionales de lavado Autoshine en Sevilla para que conozcas todos los secretos para limpiar el coche por dentro.

-What is the first thing to do to clean the inside of the car?

In Autoshine we advise our car washers to collect the client's personal belongings from the windows and doors, keeping everything in a bag for later delivery. Then, we proceed to the removal of removable carpets and rugs from the vehicle to start the washing.

-Do you only use a vacuum cleaner or do you also use a cloth and water?

We use tools that allow us to reach every nook and cranny of the vehicle, such as vacuum cleaners, cloths, special brushes for grilles, soft brushes for textiles and leather, and harder brushes for floors and carpets. The products we use are biodegradable. They are environmentally friendly and are manufactured without any type of silicones or vinyls.

-How do you advise to clean the upholstery?

The cleaning of the upholstery of the vehicle is one of the delicate parts of the washing. We can find textile, leather or mixed upholstery. It is important to vacuum the seat as much as possible. Thus, we proceed to the cleaning with the soft brush, degreaser and cloth. Previously the product has been applied on the seat sprayed on the base of the upholstery. It is proven that wetting the interior sponge can create fungi, mites and bad odors. After that we brush and proceed to remove the remains of dirt with a clean cloth. Then we pass the water vacuum cleaner to dry the seat from the inside out. In this way, we will get the customer receives his vehicle in less than two hours with the upholstery completely dry.

In the case of leather or mixed upholstery, the procedure is the same with the difference that on the leather parts we apply a leather moisturizing cream that will renew its presence and the smell of your vehicle.

-Is a special product used to clean the inside of the car?

At Autoshine we are committed to the environment and all our products are biodegradable and fully comply with the required regulations. For the interior cleaning we use a degreaser. And in the case that the vehicle has very worn plastics, we apply an interior renovator without vinyl or silicone. This does not give brightness to the plastic but it takes it to the natural brightness that it has of factory. This way we avoid the attraction of dust or the burning of the pieces if they receive direct sun (as in the case of the dashboard).

-Are all upholsteries the same for cleaning the inside of the car?

There are many types of fabrics, so each one must be treated differently.

-What is the best trick to clean the inside of the car and maintain it?

We advise not to extend the washing time too long. The dashboard, center console and door cloths should be maintained weekly with a microfiber cloth.

In summer we advise to put towels on the seats because of the transmission of saltpetre or chlorine, which in a few days will appear in the form of a white stain.
