What is the cleaning method for car sunroof sunshades?
2 Answers
Common methods involve directly removing the sunroof sunshade for cleaning. You can use either foam-type car cleaners or non-foam car cleaners. Here are detailed introductions about car sunroofs: 1. Overview: Car sunroofs are installed on the roof and can effectively circulate air inside the vehicle, increase fresh air intake, filter in-car air, and protect the health of drivers and passengers. Meanwhile, car sunroofs can also broaden the view and meet the shooting needs of mobile photography. 2. Classification: Car sunroofs can be roughly divided into: sliding-out type, built-in type, built-in flip-out type, panoramic type, and curtain type. They are mainly installed on commercial SUVs, sedans and other models.
I usually clean my sunroof sunshade in three simple steps: remove, wash, and dry. First, slide the sunshade out along the tracks—it's super easy, as most models just require flipping a clip to release it. When washing, never rinse it directly with water. Instead, prepare a large basin with warm water and a bit of mild detergent. Use a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub away surface dirt, but avoid hard brushes—scratching the coating will ruin it. After scrubbing, rinse it thoroughly with clean water three times. Finally, lay it flat in a shaded area to air-dry naturally, just like drying a bedsheet. Last week, I washed mine and left it on the balcony for two full days to dry completely—rushing to reinstall it could lead to mold. For daily use, it's best to close the sunshade when parking to minimize dust buildup.
