No matter how much you take care of your car, dirt quickly accumulates in it. It does not have to take half a weekend to clean the car’s interior. A few times a year, however, you should prioritize getting to the bottom of cleaning the car.
Leave the car doors and tailgate open while you clean it. Then you get the car thoroughly aired through.
How to clean your car
If you have limited time, or the car is not very dirty and cluttered, you can get the most basic cleaning in place in less than an hour.
Prioritize these four things:
- clean up
- Vacuum mats and seats
- Wipe surfaces
- Plaster windows and mirrors
Clean up the car
Paper and other things you have lying in the Rengøring af bil ( Car cleaning)collection and release moisture. You thus risk the windows fogging inside when you start the car up.
Vacuum
The longer the dirt lies in mats and on seats, the harder it is to get to the bottom. So prioritize vacuuming the car’s mats, seats and trunk.
Wipe the surfaces
You do not need to make an entire bucket of soapy water ready when you need to handle the quick cleaning. You can simply settle for a dry cloth or a hard-wrung cloth to wipe the surfaces with. Remove dust and the worst stains.
Plaster windows and mirrors
Your vision in the car is important. The car’s windows are covered on the inside with dirt and traffic film, which you should remove. Use a glass cleaner for the windows. Now that you’re done anyway, also polish the rear and side mirrors.

The thorough cleaning
Especially before and after the winter, it pays to go to work a little more thoroughly. Before the winter, prepare the car for frosty weather, and after the winter, the car often needs thorough cleaning after snow and sleet.
When you go more thoroughly with the cleaning, prioritize this:
- clean up
- Vacuum thoroughly
- Tap mats for dust
- Wash the interior surfaces and areas around doors
- Care for surfaces and rubber strips
- Plaster windows and mirrors
- clean up
Clean up the car and throw out unnecessary paper and rubbish. Especially, paper and cloths absorb and release moisture, which can cause the windows to mist. Depending on the season, you must also change the equipment you have lying in the car. A snow shovel fills up unnecessarily in the summer, while it can be important during the winter if you are driving on windy roads.
Vacuuming
Vacuum the car thoroughly. Be sure to vacuum both mats and under the mats. When the mats are out of the car anyway, you can advantageously knock them free of dust and dirt. The seats collect on dirt, so remember to get well into cracks and joints. If the car has leather seats, be careful not to scratch them with the vacuum Rengøring af bil indvendig ( inside car cleaning mouth. Instead, mount a soft brush on the vacuum cleaner’s head. Also, vacuum the trunk thoroughly. Lift the bottom and check for dirt below. It is also a good opportunity to check that no moisture has accumulated.
Wash surfaces and door seams
Prepare a bucket of water with soap. You can either buy a soap that is particularly suitable for washing in the cabin, or just use a few drops of quite ordinary detergent. Remember to wring the cloth well, so you do not get water all over the car. Wash all surfaces and the areas around the doors (door seam)
If there are stains on the fabric seats, you may need to use a little stain cleaner. If you have leather seats, you can clean them with leather cleaner. Subsequently, you can lubricate them with a little leather care.
Clean the car’s windows and mirrors. If you want to do it extra well, you can lastly lubricate the car door moldings with silicone.
Care for surfaces and rubber strips
Thorough cleaning also includes the care of surfaces and the Bilvask københavn ( Carwash copenhagen). The surfaces are cared for with a means for cockpit care, which is sprayed on the surfaces and subsequently dried over.
Especially before the winter season, it is a good idea to nurture the lists. You can either lubricate or spray the rubber strips with silicone spray. This prevents the doors from freezing on the rubber strip and at the same time helps to prevent the strips from softening.
