Spring is right around the corner, so that means Minnesota residents will soon be deep cleaning their carpets, clearing out their basements and attics, washing their walls and scrubbing their floors. Yes, spring cleaning is synonymous with the nicer weather and warmer temperatures. But while many people focus on the inside of the home during this annual period of cleaning and cleansing, it’s always a good idea to add one more chore to your spring cleaning list – cleaning your car.

Here’s a look at five spring cleaning tips:

1.       Wash the seats/console: Use a damp cloth and wipe down the seats of your vehicle to get rid of any stains, dirt or other debris embedded in the fabric. You can also use a cloth to wipe down the consoles or you can choose to do this with a specialty product. You’ll be surprised what a difference this makes, as lots of dust tends to build up on the console.

2.       De-clutter: Clutter isn’t just unsightly, it can also add weight to your vehicle. This can impact your fuel economy. So grab a trash bag and get rid of any junk that’s lying around, while also removing any unnecessary items from the vehicle.

3.       Wash and wax: Winter can do a number to a car, with the salt and snow grime. So make sure you give your car a good, thorough washing to get all of this off its body. Though optional, you can also give your vehicle a good waxing to really help it stand out.

4.       Vacuum it: After you wash the seats and wipe down the console, be sure to vacuum up the floor. Get underneath the mats to really get all of the dirt, debris and snow salt up and out of your vehicle.

5.       Wash the windows: You should be washing the exterior of the windows as you wash your vehicle, but don’t forget about washing the interior of these windows either. Grab some window cleaner and paper towel and get all the fingerprints and smudges off from the inside. You’ll be surprised at what a difference it makes.
