Dry cleaning is more suitable for removing deposits on soft surfaces in the cabin: seats, headrests and other items covered with fabric, leather and its substitutes, leatherette, autocarpet, vinyl, velor, and so on).

Try not to use household liquid chemicals for cleaning the interior, as it leaves stains that are difficult to get rid of later. And the most interesting thing is that stains may appear later, after a certain time after the composition dries.

Homemade compositions

You can make your own interior cleaner, we will give the recipes below, but the effect of them is much lower than from car chemicals, and it’s difficult to call it dry cleaning.

But on the other hand, natural compounds are cheap and safe for health, and they do a good job with simple pollution.

For example, with lipstick and ink, unless, of course, they are three days old, ethyl alcohol is a good idea.

From traces of tea and coffee, and this common problem for car owners, baking soda will help get rid of it, it is enough to pour soda on a rag soaked in water and treat the contaminated area.

Another way to deal with coffee and tea stains is to mix 1 to 1 water with 9% vinegar and treat the area or apply 10% ammonia.

From stains left by alcohol (wine), you can try to get rid of vinegar solution (1 tablespoon of 9% vinegar per 200 ml of water).

Methods and recipes for interior cleaning compositions

Method 1. You will need - a glass of highly carbonated mineral water, 200 ml of liquid soap, a glass of 9% vinegar.

All components are mixed, and the resulting liquid is poured into a container with a sprayer.

Spray the composition on the surface previously cleaned of dust and wait at least 5 minutes. Use a brush and a clean cloth for cleaning.

Method 2. You need half a liter clean water, dishwashing detergent (Gala, Fairy, etc.) - 1 teaspoon, 9% vinegar - 60-70 ml, baking soda - 40 - 50 grams.

Everything is mixed and the resulting composition is applied with a brush to the contaminated area. Remove stains with smooth movements along the fibers of the fabric.

Method 3. Dissolve laundry soap in slightly warm water. As a rule, 50-100 grams of soap is taken per 1 liter of water, depending on the complexity of the contamination. There should be no lumps.

Lather the solution and apply it with a brush. Wait two minutes and remove the composition with a clean brush dipped in water and a dry cloth.

This method is not suitable for all materials, especially for velvet, because diluted laundry soap is an aggressive solvent.

At rest, this solvent is harmless to the tissue, but in the process of using the brush (and without it, in any way), the tissue structure is disturbed and after a while the latter will have to be changed. Use this method only in extreme cases.

Method 4. Suitable for vinyl seats. To 450 ml of cold water, add 1 tablespoon of ammonia and half a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. The concentration can be changed, experiment.

Mix everything and pour into a spray bottle. Apply to stain and wait at least 5 minutes. Wipe the area with a damp, clean cloth.

Method 5. Take 1 tbsp. spoon of meat tenderizer and mix it with 1 tbsp. a spoonful of cold water. Get a 1:1 ratio. Apply the composition to the stain. After 1 hour, remove everything with a rag soaked in water.

Removing blood stains

To remove a fresh blood stain, use the following methods:

1. In 200 ml of cold water, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of salt. Mix, pour into a spray bottle and work on the stain. Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth;
2. Soak the stain with cold water and starch until the blood is dry. If there is no starch, then just water. The blood can then be washed off with any cleanser or detergent available;
3. For 100 ml of water, add 1 aspirin tablet and 50 grams of soda. Mix it all up and rub it on the stain. Remove after a while with a clean rag.

To remove already frozen blood, many drivers used washing powder firm Karcher, many positive feedback so try it.

To remove hardened blood stains on leather upholstery:

1. Take 20 ml of lemon juice and 10 ml of tartar sauce, mix and apply on the stain. Wait at least 10 minutes and wipe off with a damp cloth. Treat the skin with a special conditioner;
2. IN? part of a tablespoon of liquid soap add a little cold water. Apply to the stain and wait at least 5 minutes. Wipe the area with a cloth soaked in cold water and then wipe everything dry. Use a leather conditioner.

Simple Ways

1. Cleaning plastic - sanitary napkins or napkins for LCD monitors;
2. Cleaning plastic and fabric - pure vodka;
3. Artificial leather - Gala, Fairy and other household products;
4. Fabric Cleaner - Carpet Cleaner.

Do not treat leather upholstery with alkaline products such as baking soda.

Use only cold or lukewarm water, do not use warm or hot water.

Do-it-yourself dry cleaning

The sequence of work depends on the auto chemical goods that will be involved, but professionals with a complete dry cleaning of the interior have already developed a certain algorithm of actions.

But first you need to prepare the appropriate auto chemistry. Below, as an option, a list of budget funds is proposed, with which you can do it yourself full dry cleaning car interior.

You can use other autochemistry, but its purpose should be the same.

1. Cleaner fabric foam Profoam 4000;
2. Universal cleaner for dry cleaning of any surfaces except glass - Profoam 2000;
3. Glass cleaner Fine Glass;
4. polish for final touch- Leather & Tire Wax.

Action algorithm:

Preventive measures

In order to do less self-cleaning of the interior and not spend money on car services, purchase tight covers for the seats.

This will not completely save the situation, but it is the seats that are the most polluted place in the car.

It’s easier once every 3-4 years, or even less often, to remove the covers and wash them in a typewriter than to stuff various car chemicals into the salon during the same period, and then breathe it in. For allergy sufferers, this is especially true.

In this article, we will talk about car washing and cleaning the interior of the car inside. Talk about what clean car or the dry cleaning of his interior somehow affects the speed of movement or the safety of passengers, stupid. But, you see, sitting in a clean one, well maintained car, which smells pleasantly of a freshener, there is a feeling of confidence, peace and comfort. In addition, interior cleaning significantly extends the useful life of interior materials: covers, plastic, trim.

There are two ways to keep your car interior tidy and clean:

• use of the services of car services engaged in dry cleaning and interior washing;
• do-it-yourself car interior cleaning.

Chemistry for high-quality cleaning of the car interior has recently been available a lot: everyone can find a tool for their own pocket. If caring for the car interior with your own hands also gives you pleasure, then the issue is immediately resolved in favor of cleaning it on your own.

The point is small: you need to choose a tool for cleaning the interior of the car and develop a certain cleaning algorithm, because this is exactly what experienced cleaning managers do.

Considering the fact that not every driver in the garage has professional expensive equipment designed for dry cleaning, let's dwell on the consideration for dry cleaning the interior of improvised means - a vacuum cleaner and an iron.

special means

Don't forget to buy special tools and accessories. So, you need to buy:

• polishing wipes;
• towels that absorb moisture well;
• vacuum cleaner attachments.

Vacuum cleaner nozzles are especially useful narrow ones. They are ideal for cleaning joints and seams at the seats, as well as for cleaning hard-to-reach places in the car.

We use an iron

Talking about how to vacuum the interior of the car, I think, will be redundant. But what about the iron? Why is he needed in this difficult matter? The bottom line lies in the fact that most modern irons are equipped with such a function as steam ironing. In our case, dry cleaning of the interior with steam can be carried out with a household iron. This cleaning method is suitable for the most soiled places of covers and upholstery.

Cleaning technology

Car interior cleaning technology:

• dry cleaning should start from the ceiling of the cabin. The ceiling is best divided into several conditional zones. Usually, zones are chosen above the seats, so we get 4 zones. When cleaning the ceiling and upholstery, remember that you do not need to wet the upholstery with water. The sheathing is glue-based, so it can easily peel off from excessive moisture;
• seat cleaning. If the car uses removable seat covers, then they can be removed and washed separately. While they are drying, you can proceed directly to the chairs themselves. To facilitate access to the joints of the seats, it is better to expand them. Special attention it is necessary to pay attention to the ends of the seats, which, as a rule, are not protected by covers, which means that they are most susceptible to pollution;
• salon floor. Most dust, debris and dirt accumulates under the driver's seat and front passenger. These areas should be given special attention;
• door cards and their cleaning. Here you need to thoroughly wipe off those places where the hands constantly come into contact with the cards. These are places that are touched when opening doors and when leaning on with a hand;
• cleaning decorative finishes interior (plastic, torpedoes) is carried out using special polishes and other means;
• glass and mirrors in the process of dry cleaning. This is the final touch of car interior cleaning. Particular attention should be paid to cleaning the windows from the inside for those who smoke in the cabin, since they become very cloudy from the smoke.

Perhaps this is all you need to know for cleaning the interior. Now, knowing how to clean, it remains to find out how all this needs to be done.

Car interior and chemistry

Rule of thumb: when choosing an interior dry cleaner, read the labels to find out if a particular cleaner is suitable for the material your car is upholstered with.

Even experienced cleaning managers advise using household products for cleaning the car from the inside, which are characterized by active foaming. According to reviews and rumors, many have such a tool as Vanish. Such tools are good because:

• require a minimum of water;
• are simply removed with a vacuum cleaner.

If you do not quite trust household chemicals, then you can turn to a wide range car shops, in which there is huge selection interior cleaning foam. Choose your foam from any manufacturer according to your finances.

For chrome and plastic interior elements, polishes designed for metal and plastic are used. Instructions for using such products are indicated on the packaging, follow it exactly.

Folk remedies for interior cleaning

Folk chemistry for cleaning the interior, tested by many generations of motorists, is also available. You can use water with vinegar essence (a teaspoon to a glass of water) to deal with alcohol stains. Fruit traces can be removed 10% ammonia. Similarly, stains from coffee and tea are removed. Lipstick and ink can be wiped off with a cotton pad soaked in 90% ethanol.

When the interior cleaning of the car is done, you can sit in a clean car and relax a bit, enjoying the fruits of your labor.

We all regularly use the services of car washes and self-service car washes. I think you will agree that no one likes to drive a dirty and dusty car. Some motorists purchase special mini-washes to save money and this is their right, but the external car wash is much less complicated compared to cleaning interior cabin car.

How to clean car interior?

The interior of the car requires careful and regular maintenance. Some car owners use the services of the appropriate auto dry cleaners, others take this matter into their own hands and often, without knowing all the nuances, cause irreparable damage to the upholstery of their favorite car. To prevent this from happening to you, let's figure out how and with what you can clean the car interior at home.

The interior of the car can be cleaned using the following means: foam interior cleaner (car chemicals), steam cleaner, car vacuum cleaner, washing vacuum cleaner.

I already wrote about steam cleaners earlier in the “Everything for the Home” section, I will only add that it is better to purchase manual models steam cleaners with a boiler pressure of at least 3-5 bar. With this steam cleaner, you can steam clean even the most stubborn stains. The steam cleaner can support refueling with chemical solutions, and then you get two in one: dry cleaning of the interior and steam cleaning of the interior.

A vacuum cleaner for a car is also simply indispensable, because the most a large number of dirt, debris and dust accumulates on the floor under the driver's and passenger's seats. Before proceeding with the chemical cleaning of the interior, dirt and debris should be removed from the interior with a vacuum cleaner or special brushes for cleaning the car.

We clean the interior of the car ourselves

Now let's proceed directly to the very cleaning of the car interior. We will do this step by step:

Step one: removing debris with a vacuum cleaner or a special brush. You will need to vacuum twice before chemical cleaning the entire interior and after the end of the removal of contaminants.

Step two: Upholstery cleaning should begin with cleaning the ceiling of the car interior. Conditionally divide the ceiling into several zones, alternately treating each with a solution, rubbing the foam with a damp (not wet) sponge, waiting for several minutes, then treating the cleaned surface with a pre-prepared dry cloth.

Step three: The next step is to clean the seats. It is better to do this in the unfolded state, in this case it will be easier for you to get to the joints, where a lot of dirt almost always accumulates. As a rule, the ends of the seats are the most contaminated. Cleaning the seats with chemicals should be similar to cleaning the ceiling: remove dust, apply the product, rub the foam with a sponge, wait, wipe the surface with a dry cloth. It is very important to treat each zone in turn, and not apply the product all over the cabin at once. If the interior of your car is leather, apply the composition to a soft cloth and only then wipe the skin.

Step four: Let's start cleaning the floor. With the use of chemistry, everything is similar to the methods described above.

Step five: We pay attention to cleaning the doors. First, we clean the cards, and only then the plastic on the doors and dashboard. Cleaning plastics is best done with general purpose plastic and vinyl cleaners.

Step six: The final step is to clean the glass and mirrors. When you wash them thoroughly, you will be surprised at where so much dust and dirt came from.

You need to clean the car interior in this sequence, but even if you do everything step by step, it’s not a fact that your lesson will be crowned with success. Why? You also need to choose the right cleaning agent.

What chemistry for cleaning the interior to choose?

When choosing chemicals to clean the car, it should be noted that there are special products with active foam on sale, as well as a simple household chemicals. Special foam cleaners for the car are good because the annotation for each specific product indicates what types of surface they work with. In addition, they require a minimum of water and are quite easy to assemble with a vacuum cleaner or a napkin.

For plastic and vinyl parts it is better to use special polishes.

When working with any surface, you should first test the effect of the product: apply a little product to a not too noticeable area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe upholstery of your interior, in case of streaks or damage to the material, stop using this cleaner.
