Protecting Vinyl Surfaces
If you don’t take good care of your vinyl upholstery and hard surfaces in your vehicle, they can be easily open to cracking.
In order to avoid this and keep them shiny and safe, just use a mix in a solution of olive oil and lemon juice. Afterward, you can gently massage the surface with a dampened cloth.
Dryer Sheets Help Keep a Fresh Aroma
Use those extra dryer sheets around various strategic locations in your car to keep that good aroma. These sheets should continue to emit fragrance for 1 to 3 months, varying by the climate.
Just allow it to sit on your cloth upholstery and mats before blotting it with a dampened rag. The stain should be gone in no time.

Use a Sock, a Travel Cup and Windex for Your Cup-holders
Before you take our advice on using silicone cupcake liners for your cupholders, as we mentioned above, make sure you properly clean out the actual cupholders.
Get a travel cup, cover it with an old sock from the bottom up, and spray some Windex on it. Place the cup in the cupholder and twist a few times. You’ll get every last piece of dirt out.
