Then pour the mix in a spray bottle for an adequate use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Do not waste water<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You would be wasting way too much water by using the hose. Instead, carry one bucket of water with you and place it in reachable areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You could also refill the bucket with more water to rinse after a deep cleaning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Believe it or not, you would be saving about 100 gallons of water compared to other wasteful habits. If you find it easier to use the hose, use a nozzle to avoid wasting too much water.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Make your car interior smell amazing<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To green clean your car interior, use baking soda as it provides a natural, refreshing scent to your carpet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Get organic dryer sheets and place them under your car seats. For better results, use a small dab of essential oil in the corners of your dash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once you let the oil warm up, you will notice a fresh, calming scent that works as great as any other air freshener product.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Use olive oil for a final touch<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To enhance protection, take a few drops of olive oil and rub it on your dashboard and any other plastic areas inside your car.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This alternative will keep those plastic areas supple. Then switch to linseed oil and apply it to your leather seats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Linseed oil works perfectly with leather, as it is a natural cleaner and protectant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By following these simple steps, not only will you be keeping your car in great condition, but also protecting the environment and reversing damaging trends.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/handling-parking-lot-accident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"SEE ALSO: So You\u2019ve Just Had A Parking Lot Accident, What\u2019s Next?
