There’s nothing quite like entering a clean, fresh-smelling, clutter-free cabin in the morning for your daily drives. For your car, an ideal interior maintenance regime should entail regular detailing at your local Buick dealership. In between these professional deep cleans, the following tips and habits will help to minimize dirt, grime, stains, and unpleasant smells.
8 Tips for Maintaining Your Buick’s Interior
Avoid Snacks and Drinks
With a straightforward no-food-or-drink policy, you’ll remove a major source of stains and debris. Without accidental coffee spills, smears of chocolate, and crumbs in the upholstery cracks, your car will stay so much fresher and cleaner.
Install OEM Floor Mats
You can protect your car’s carpets with genuine Buick floor mats that fit perfectly without cracks at the edges. These robust weather-proof mats are easy to remove and wash once a week.
Vacuum Frequently
When cleaning the mats, it’s also a good idea to vacuum the nooks and crannies of your cabin. Invest in a neat little car vacuum that makes it easier to get under the seats, into door pockets, between the seat and console, and into other tricky areas.
Keep Air Vents Clear
The air quality inside your cabin impacts your health and driving pleasure. By regularly cleaning your air vents and changing the cabin air filter, you’ll help a great deal in keeping your cabin air breathable.
Use Good Seat Covers
A significant portion of your cabin’s surface area is upholstery, which you’ll want to protect from stains, rips, and harmful UV rays. Comfortable, elegant, easy-to-clean seat covers are the simplest way to do this.
Apply Protective Window Tint
Both leather and cloth upholstery steadily fade when exposed to direct sunlight. So, try to park in the shade whenever possible. It’s also advisable to install window tints with effective UV protection.
Condition Leather Upholstery
It’s wise to occasionally use a high-quality conditioner to clean all leather surfaces. Apply only a small amount of conditioner and use a microfiber cloth or soft-bristled brush to gently wipe away dirt and stains.
Disinfect the Dashboard
Keep a disinfectant spray in your car to routinely kill bacteria on the dashboard, steering wheel, door handles, seatbelt buckles, and any other part that’s often touched. The more often you do this, the less chance bacteria and mold will have to settle in.
