Top 5 things to remember when spring cleaning your car

It’s springtime once again, which means it is the perfect time to care for your car after the brutal winter months. Just like your home, your car can benefit from a nice clean up and makeover. Starting from the car interior down to the engine, a bit of TLC goes a long way and can even prevent costly repairs. Here are some tips to remember when spring cleaning your car.
 
  1. Clean the interior - It is not just the exterior that you should really scrub and clean well. You also need to pay attention to the inside of your vehicle such as the dashboard, seats, and carpet. If you have leather seats, use a cleaner designed specifically for this type of material. Use a soft, lint free fabric like a chamois to clean the dash, console, cup holders and other nooks and crannies. A good sweep of the vacuum cleaner under the seats and between the seams is important too. You never know what you’ll discover hidden there. Maybe your long lost pair of eye glasses? Lastly, don’t forget the trunk, declutter and get rid of unnecessary weight that takes a toll on your car and causes you fuel.

  1. Treat your car to nice car wash - The salt, ice, and slush have been tough on your vehicle during the frigid months. Get the gunk and grime out by giving your car a much deserved wash and shampoo. Pay extra attention to the wheel, remove the hubcap and wash underneath. Remember to use the right cleaning solution, soft wash mitts and soft towels for drying. Don’t feel like doing it yourself, treat your car to a nice car wash and auto detailing.

  1. Apply wax after washing - Wax does not only make your car appear shiny and polished, but it also helps protect the exterior from further damage caused by the intense heat of the sun. But be sure to use the right wax that is gently yet powerful enough to really protect your vehicle from the damaging effects of the heat, as well as other outdoor elements.

  1. Change the wiper blades - The winter season has been harsh on the wiper blades, and you may even notice the rubber starting to crack or maybe has already cracked. In this case, swap these wiper blades out and get a new one. Cleaning the rear and front of the car windows is also essential since the dirt tends to block your vision and make you more susceptible to an accident.

  1. Check the stuff under the hood - How’s the battery, engine oil, brake fluid, and so on? Be sure to have these properly checked, as well, since you need to get your car fully ready for the road before you leave home. These are essential parts of your vehicle that need your attention, so make it a point to keep them well-checked and in good condition before heading out. You can also opt to have your engine professionally cleaned by a reputable auto shop.
​
By performing these spring cleaning tasks for your car, this reduces the possibility of getting your car towed by a Markham tow truck because of an issue with the battery, fuel, or other concerns that arise from not checking the vehicle well before leaving the home.
