What cleaning agent should be used for dirty car interiors?

[DelAlivia]

For dirty car interiors, organic cleaning solvents and two-in-one cleaning agents are recommended. The details are as follows: Organic cleaning solvents: Primarily used to remove grease, lubricants, dirt, silicone polishes, rubber processing aids, and fingerprints from the car body surface. Commonly used organic solvents in China include kerosene, gasoline, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and No. 200 solvent gasoline. When using organic solvents, avoid contact with plastic and rubber components to prevent aging. Two-in-one cleaning agent: This is a high-grade surface cleaner, mainly composed of various surfactants. The waxing component is a specially formulated water wax that forms a wax film on the paint surface during cleaning, enhancing the car's brightness and effectively protecting the paint.

When the interior of the car gets dirty, I usually use a specialized car interior cleaner. For plastic and leather areas, just spray some foam cleaner, then gently brush with a soft-bristle brush and wipe dry. For fabric seats, fabric cleaning foam works better—spray it on the stain, wait two minutes, and then vacuum it away. Never use household cleaners as they can corrode plastic. Remember to test the product in an inconspicuous area first. I always keep wet wipes in the car for quick cleaning and do a thorough clean once a month to prevent stains from building up. This way, the leather seats are less likely to crack.

When cleaning the interior, I choose cleaning agents based on the material. For genuine leather seats, I use a neutral cleaner containing shea butter to moisturize and prevent cracking. For plastic parts, I opt for foam-type cleaners that don’t damage the panels. Fabric areas require strong stain-removing sprays, followed by steam cleaning for thorough results. Remember to turn off the AC and remove floor mats for separate cleaning, and use a soft brush to dust the AC vents. After cleaning, it’s best to apply a protective spray to prevent aging, especially on leather and plastic components. When parking, try to avoid direct sunlight to slow down aging and maintain cleanliness.

Different stains require different treatments. For beverage stains, a mixture of baking soda water and dish soap works well. For oil stains, using alcohol wipes is effective. Dust can be removed by wiping in circles with a microfiber cloth dampened with clean water to avoid leaving marks. For stubborn stains, specialized grease cleaning paste can be quite effective. When cleaning, avoid spraying too much moisture onto the central control screen to prevent short circuits. In cold weather, spraying cleaner onto a clean cloth before wiping can help prevent damage to the interior.
