Spring is known for April showers, May flowers, and the beginning of warmer temperatures that we have patiently waited for during the winter months. But spring is also when numerous people choose to take part in a long-honored tradition; spring cleaning. Sure, cleaning out the closets, scrubbing every surface, and reorganizing dresser drawers and basements surely isn’t as fun as sitting outside on the patio while the sun is shining. But isn’t it amazing to know that the house is spic and span and looking its best after a thorough dose of spring cleaning?
Oftentimes, just when you think your work is complete, there is one area that you use very frequently that also needs a look; your car! Let’s face it; we are very confident that forgotten items are under the seats, wrappers and trash might be in the glove compartment, and you may even forget what items are in the trunk! Hey, we aren’t judging-when you’re often going from one place to the next, it’s easy to discard countless items in a hurry, telling yourself you’ll get to it later before becoming distracted with other tasks to accomplish.
If this sounds like your car, this is the perfect time of year to make sure not only your house, but your vehicle is ready to take on the season ahead by being as clean, fresh, and organized as possible. Here are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to giving your vehicle a proper spring cleaning.
Wash Your Car
When it comes to spring cleaning your car, it’s best to start from the outside and work your way in, and that means giving your vehicle a good outside washing. During snowy weather, salt accumulates not only on the car’s body in cold weather, but also underneath it. Washing up this build-up salt at a local car wash will prevent salt corrosions that can cause harm to your vehicle’s muffler, exhaust, and coil springs.
Focus on the Carpets
Now that your car is looking good as new on the outside, let’s focus on the inside! After removing any trash, it’s time to give those carpets in the vehicle’s interior some loving by giving them a thorough vacuuming, removing stains, and power-washing floor mats.
Replace Tires and Wiper Blades
Both your vehicle’s wiper blades and tires are exposed to a great deal during the winter season, so between the constant inclement weather and the potholes on the road, it’s a great idea to make sure both your tires are good to drive in and your wiper blades are prepared to face those April showers!
