Time may have caused your car interior to stink like a combination of a thousand stench ranging from tobacco, socks, coffee, or wet dog. It is very difficult to regain the new car scent with the upholstery absorbing years of dust and other pollutants.

Car upholstery is made from different materials like leather, cloth, or vinyl. Cleaning of the interiors and the upholstery may be difficult and expensive since professional cleaners charge very high fees to remove the minutest of stains.

Cleaning the automotive upholstery takes patience and a little help from common household products. One may maintain and clean the upholstery from minor stains but big ones are better done by professionals who employ strong cleaning solutions without damaging the upholstery.

Cleaning Common Car Upholstery Problems

• Dust- Car upholstery can easily be cleaned from surface dust using a vacuum cleaner. Extension tools of the vacuum will help reach gaps and crevices to get rid of dust in between automotive upholstery. Cleaning solutions like leather or vinyl protector will help maintain them in great condition and make them more durable for long.

• Spills – No matter how one avoids spills on the car upholstery, bad things happen when we hit a bump on the road. The key to cleaning it is by soaking as much of the liquid out of the upholstery as soon as possible by using rags or paper towels. Press the towel against the upholstery to get rid of as much liquid as possible. Damp cloth can be used on spills on leather seat covers. Leather upholstery is best treated for misfortunes like this by using protectants on a regular basis to maintain the supple feel of the leather. It is best to avoid build up of dust or dirt on leather seats.

• Heavy Stains – Heavy stains are so unsightly. One quick remedy is to use baby wipes to absorb the fresh stain. If they don’t do the cleaning trick then try to brush a little soda water on the upholstery.

• Bad Odor – Automotive upholstery can easily absorb any odor from the circulating stale air inside or from air coming from the outside. A cup of coffee or a bag of fries can have tremendous effect on the smell of the car’s upholstery. A quick solution to this problem is opening the windows and spraying deodorizer to the interiors. Shampooing the carpet may also get rid of cigarette smell and improve the quality of air inside the car. If the smell stays it is recommended to consult professional upholstery cleaners who have the proper tools and cleaning materials.

• Leather Upholstery – Aside from applying protective liquid to the leather upholstery, regular cleaning and avoiding of extreme heat will lengthen the life span of the leather.

Cleaning automotive upholstery is the best solution to have that new car scent once more but like the cliché goes prevention is still better than an ounce of cure. Cars are considered major investments. Aside from keeping the engine in top mechanical form, taking care of the interiors especially of the upholstery will make our driving experience more pleasurable and more comfortable.
