Everyone loves that new car smell. That beautiful smell disappears when life is moving as fast as your car. Now, what if you could save every dime that you’d usually throw to an interior detailer? These 12 tips will keep your car looking shiny and smelling brand new!

1. Polish Those Grimy Wheels

It doesn’t take long for car wheels to build-up dirt and grime. Good thing there’s a pocket-friendly way to get those wheels sparkling clean. Just mix 1 cup water and 1 cup vinegar into a spray bottle. Wipe them with a rag to have brand new looking chrome!

2. DIY Air Freshener

Store-bought air fresheners can be quite spendy. An all-natural fun alternative is making your very own. All you need are clothespins, a few colored pom poms, and your favorite essential oils. Glue the pom-poms to the clothespin and place the oil drops right onto the pom-poms. Voila!

3. Make Pet Hair Disappear

Dogs love a great car ride. But once the fun is over the car seat can be covered with your fluffy friend’s hair. A quick and easy way to say bye-bye to dog hair is to spray water onto the seat until it’s damp. Then use a squeegee to wipe the hair right off.

4. Get Dirt And Crumbs Out Of Nooks

In those hard to reach places, grime can pile up. The buttons on your steering wheel, window buttons, and car seat cracks are perfect places for random dirt to hide. All you need is a toothbrush to make those items nice again. Just scrub in between and you’re looking fresh and clean!

5. Keep Floor Mats Looking Fresh

Floor mats get the brute of our mess. Just take the mats out spray them with stain removing and throw them right into the washing machine with laundry detergent. They’ll be looking brand new!

6. Polish Cup Holders With Ease

Cupholders end up very dirty and a tough spot to clean up. All you need is a sock, Windex, and a travel mug to get them shining. Spray cupholder and place sock onto the travel mug, twist a few times and dirt will be gone in seconds.

7. No Streak Windshield Wipers

Windshields wipers can collect dirt after long trips. To keep that window streak-free, pour rubbing alcohol onto a cloth and wipe those wipers clean.

8. Make Stinky Seats Fresh Again

After a long day at the park, those seats can get pretty gnarly. Just sprinkle baking soda onto the seats and let it soak for a few hours. Vacuum it all up for a crisp smelling car.

9. Got A Cloudy Headlight?

Those cloudy headlights have hope no need to replace entirely. Place whitening toothpaste on them and just scrub with a toothbrush. Spray them off to reveal a shiny new headlight.

10. Erase Dust On Your Dash

Your dashboard is a dust magnet and an easy way to make it disappear is a coffee filter. Just rub along the dashboard and it clings to the filter!

11. Keep The Dashboard Gleaming

After you followed tip number 10. Rub some olive oil on a clean rag and your dash will be sparkling in no time. Even rubbing it on leather seats can have them looking polished.

12. Stink Be Gone

Need that car stench gone? Put baking soda and essential oils into a mason jar. Poke holes in the lid and keep in a cup holder so it can suck out the odor from the air. Smells fresh and clean again.
