Cleaning can be a hassle, but it’s necessary to keep your car running as it should. If you have lots of junk inside your car or grit accumulated on the outside, it could alter how you handle the vehicle. That’s why our Peoria Volkswagen dealer wants to make sure that you keep your Volkswagen clean so that you don’t run into any serious complications down the road. While cleaning is certainly no fun, there are ways to make it easier. We’re sharing a series of easy hacks to cleaning your car so that the task doesn’t have to be such a chore.
Use Olive Oil On Your Dashboard
One great trick to avoid buying expensive cleaners, is to use a little olive oil on your dashboard. The oil keeps it shiny and new when you rub it into the dash, since it moisturizes it and preserves it.
Use Cupcake Liners to Keep Your Cupholders Clean
It’s common to fill your cupholders with random items when you’re constantly in a rush to get to your next destination. Placing cupcake liners in your cupholders keep you more aware of what you leave in them, and it also prevents items from leaving residue and sticky substances in the cupholders when you go to use them for a new item.
Use Dryer Sheets to De-Bug Your Car
You’ll often see and hear the sign of bugs having hit your car when you were driving. When you inspect the outside of your Volkswagen, you’ll find the resulting bugs from your drive around Peoria. To keep your Volkswagen looking clean and bug-free, use dryer sheets to remove the bug residue.
Use Your Toothbrush and Toothpaste to Clean Your Headlights
Another lesser known use for your toothbrush and toothpaste is using them to clean your car, specifically, your headlights. This means you can scrub your headlights with a rag and toothpaste to make your headlights crystal clear for great visibility, and use your toothbrush if you want to get all of the grooves and crevices.
Use Your Make-Up Brush to Clean Your Vents
Since your air vents can get pretty dusty, you’ll want a small but fluffy item to get in between the vents to clean them. Your make-up brush is perfect for this.
