Car Interior Cleaning
This playbook outlines the steps necessary for thoroughly cleaning the interior of a car, detailing the processes of vacuuming, dusting, and sanitizing to ensure a tidy and hygienic vehicle environment.
Step 1: Preparation
Remove any personal items, trash, and mats from the car. Shake out the mats to remove loose dirt.
Step 2: Vacuuming
Use a car vacuum cleaner to vacuum the seats, carpets, and floor mats. Pay special attention to the nooks and crannies where dirt accumulates.
Step 3: Dusting
Dust the dashboard, center console, and other surfaces using microfiber cloths. For hard-to-reach areas, use a soft-bristled brush.
Step 4: Sanitizing
Wipe down all hard surfaces with car-safe sanitizing wipes or a cloth with mild soapy water. Be sure to clean the steering wheel, gear shift, and other high-contact areas thoroughly.
Step 5: Windows
Clean the inside of the windows with a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth, ensuring a streak-free finish.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
Replace all mats and items removed during preparation. Optionally, use a car freshener to leave your vehicle smelling clean.
