Car carpet cleaning is only one part of the entire interior cleaning adventure, but some people neglect it and others do not even know how to take care of it properly.

Either you want to sell your vehicle or keep your car interior in good condition, here are some simple steps to help you take care of your vehicle’s carpet.

Organize your interior

This is a basic rule prior to start your cleaning task and shouldn’t be ignored.

Provided that you are one of those car owners who eats and keeps junk inside the vehicle, start by fixing up your mess and group your items in an area where they don’t disrupt your cleaning.

The more things you remove out of your vehicle, the better for your cleaning task.

Once you took them all, proceed to vacuuming everywhere inside your vehicle, making sure that you don’t miss any crumbs, trash, or dirt hidden in the darkest areas of your car interior.

Get rid of all car carpet stains

After a thorough cleaning and vacuuming, look at your carpet carefully.

Pay attention to the condition of the carpet as it may have some stains that are hard to remove. You may consider buying some carpet shampoo to ensure your carpet is stain-free and look like brand-new.

Prior to the use of any chemicals on your carpet, look at the label, follow the cleaning instructions, and avoid wasting too much shampoo since it may cause the carpet to mold over the long term.

Once you finish scrubbing your car carpet, let it dry completely by exposing it to the sun. Use towels to help it dry and absorb any accumulated moisture.

Sometimes using shampoo on your carpet could cause dirt to rise to the surface of your carpet. If that’s your case, keep vacuuming your car before driving to avoid causing more stains.

Take care of your car mats

As it takes time to dry your car carpet, pay attention to your car mats and give them some cleaning.

Whether your carpet mat is made of fabric, you could use the above-mentioned steps to keep them clean, otherwise vacuum them until they are free of dirt.

At times the carpet undersides accumulates a lot of dirt, so apply some shampoo for a better cleaning.

Hang the mats in an area where they could dry completely. Once they are all dried, shake them before putting them back in your car, as some dirt tend to sneak in difficult areas even after washing.

As you take care of you appearance, your car’s carpeting also needs to look and smell like new ones. Remember that a clean vehicle speaks highly of the owner.
