A Good Scrub
To properly clean those rubber mats, all you need is a soap solution and a stiff-bristled brush.
If you’re having trouble removing the tough stains, let the mats soak and sit in the sun for at least fifteen minutes before you start rinsing. This should spare you the embarrassment of having dirty mats when your friends hitch a ride with you.
Use Sticky Mats in Your Car
We don’t encourage using phones or gadgets while driving, but if you need to securely place them somewhere, a sticky mat stuck to the dashboard should do the trick.
A sticky mat like this should lessen the times they roll around the dashboard.
Rubbing Alcohol Helps Clean Wiper Blades
You might want to avoid using your windshield if there is still some residue. This can cause ineffective wiping or some streaks across your windshield.
To combat this, simply use a ball of cotton dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove all that residue. This should ensure a smooth, fluid movement.
Windshield Wiper Solution
Didn’t finish that bottle of vodka over the weekend? Put it to good use by mixing three cups of it with four cups of water and two tablespoons of liquid detergent.
Pour this mix in the windshield wiper reservoir and you can easily achieve a streak-free finish. A clean wiper is far better and safer than a drunken night out.
How to Remove Grease and Oil
If you have some affected areas in your car from grease or oil, apply cornstarch on the leather and cloth upholstery, let it sit for about ten minutes, and the starch should eventually soak up the stain.
This should help if you ever accidentally spill some food or drinks in the car.
