As the vehicle is used, the seats, door trims, ceiling, fabric mats gradually begin to lose their freshness. To return them an attractive appearance, you will need a dry cleaning of the salon, which you can do yourself, without having to contact specialized services.
A clean, fresh and tidy car interior evokes only positive emotions and an inner feeling of comfort. But the high cost of services for dry cleaning and interior cleaning often forces motorists to think about carrying out such a procedure with their own hands. Complex dry cleaning must be consistent, accurate and in compliance with a certain algorithm.
Dry cleaning
Before starting cleaning in the car interior, you must manually remove all large debris, and then thoroughly vacuum all interior elements: rugs, covers, seats, floor covering. If possible, it is recommended to dismantle the chairs in order to gain access to the joints between them, where dirt and dust accumulate most of all.
Dry cleaning agent testing
Before starting cleaning with a chemical, it is recommended to check it on an inconspicuous fragment of the upholstery: some types of delicate fabrics can change their color under the influence of an aggressive environment and unattractive stains and streaks will remain on the upholstery.
Ceiling cleaning
Professional car washers begin dry cleaning from the ceiling. The ceiling is visually divided into four squares, which are sequentially processed by the selected means. It is important to remember that it is strongly not recommended to wet the ceiling with plenty of water and cleaning agent, because its adhesive base can peel off under the influence of moisture and the upholstery will sag. The agent sprayed on the ceiling is kept for the time prescribed by the instructions and washed with a dry cloth without a pattern that could fade. If the ceiling upholstery is made of a fleecy material, then the movements during cleaning should be carried out strictly in one direction, otherwise, after drying, the pile will take an ugly shape.
Dry cleaning of seats
The upholstery of the seats allows more cleaning agent to be used than the ceiling. Stubborn, stubborn stains can be treated multiple times. Leather and vinyl coverings are cleaned either with soapy water or with a special leather cleaner. If solution gets on the car window while cleaning the seat upholstery, it must be removed immediately with a clean, dry cloth. the composition of the product may damage the glass.
Floor treatment
When cleaning the floor covering, keep in mind that most dirt collects under the driver's and front passenger seats. It is better to dry-clean the floor with a product with increased foaming - this will help to avoid excessive moisture of the coating. It is allowed to use a steam vacuum cleaner and hard brushes for scrubbing the most stubborn stains.
Plastic and glass processing
The decorative plastic elements are cleaned with a special polish that gives shine and repels dust. Buttons, technical holes are carefully cleaned with old toothbrushes or cotton swabs. Windows and mirrors must be cleaned with special glass processing products. It is not recommended to spray the cleaning compound directly onto the glass - this will cause cloudy streaks. A small amount of the agent is first applied to a soft tissue, after which it is carefully spread over the surface of windows and mirrors. Tinted windows are cleaned with delicate products that do not contain ammonia.
