Cars get easily soiled with dust, oils, grease, dyes, grime, and other pollutants. A steam cleaner is an amazing solution for cleaning your car because:
- Steam saves up to 90% water and therefore is eco-friendly.
- Using a steam cleaner saves time and effort.
- Steam disinfects and sterilizes surfaces without the use of harmful chemicals.
- Steam can penetrate and clean deep into the fabric, not just the surface.
- It is possible to clean hard-to-reach areas.
- Steam cleaning removes bad odors and improves the quality of air.
Before you start steam cleaning, always remember to wear cleaning gloves to protect your hands from the heat, clean your car in sections and have everything you need within reach.
- Remove trash and accessories
Before you start steam cleaning, always remove any loose trash such as paper wrappings, leaves, and accessories such as removable mats, emergency kits, and baby seats.
- Vacuum the upholstery
Use a handheld vacuum to clean up the dirt. Vacuum underneath the seats, the mats, and the trunk. Vacuum all the removable accessories that you had removed earlier.
- Prep the steam cleaner
Fill the water tank with water, following the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Give the boiler a few minutes to reach the optimum temperature. Attach a cleaning brush to the steam cleaner. Move the cleaning accessory across the upholstery while pressing the trigger, which releases the steam. While cleaning leather, attach a softer sponge attachment to your steam cleaner, which ensures that the leather does not get scratched. Take caution with the steam while cleaning and keep in mind that the fabric may be hot after cleaning.
- Vacuum and clean the windows
After cleaning, trapped dirt will be pulled out of the fabric, which is why it is important to vacuum the surface again. Cars have a lot of narrow openings and ridges. Using a precision attachment, clean the air vents, knobs, and door handles. As well as gear shifts and cup holders. When cleaning the windows, use the window cleaning attachment or a squeegee to clean the glass, working in small sections.
- Wipe any debris
Steam cleaning releases dirt from hard-to-reach surfaces. Therefore, there will be a need to go over the hard surfaces with a microfiber cloth after steam cleaning, which also dries up any water left behind.
The effectiveness of using a car steam cleaner is higher than conventional methods of cleaning. Not only will your car have that fresh new look, but there will also be no residue left behind by cleaning products.
