Project Clean: The Car

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.

Back in January, I was all about organization! I think it was because it was a new year and I wanted to start it with everything in the “right” place.  This month has been more about cleaning!  I’ve been visiting my parents a lot an helping them work to get their house cleaned up and back in tip top shape.

During the 4 hour drive back today, I realized that I needed to focus my cleaning efforts on some of my own items too.  Judging from the looks of things, I really needed to start with my car and the car floor mats.

No. that isn’t my car or my floor mats but, sometimes, I feel like they might look at that.  So, let’s talk about ways to clean the car.
1.  Dashboard cleaning – I am all about Armour all for dashboard cleaning.  I don’t like the super shiny stuff but I like the way it picks up the dust and leaves a smell that isn’t overpowering.
2.  Windows – I always clean the interior windows with Windex.  For the exterior, I tend to just use the stuff at the gas station when I get gas.  I know Mathlete puts Rain-X on them too though.
3.  Seats – These I tend to just vacuum unless there are some stains.  If there are stains, I use my spot bot to get them out.
4.  Car Floor Mats – This is another job for my vacuum.  If they are really dirty, I will break out the resolve and clean them up.  Thankfully, that rarely happens because I am lazy.

So, how do you clean your car?  Do you it do it on a regular basis or just when you feel like you need it?
