Tuesday Tips: Spring Cleaning For Your Automobile!



With Spring on it's way (this week! Yay for Friday, March 20th, 2015!!!), Spring Cleaning can't be far behind!
Here are some useful tips and tricks for cleaning your automobile!


1. Toothpaste cleans scuff marks off of the body of your car with ease. Just squirt a dab into an old rag or towel and light scrub in a circular motion.


BONUS: Toothpaste also cleans those foggy old headlights. Don't bother with the repair kits from the store when you've got the solution right in your medicine cabinet!



2. You can make your own homemade windshield wiper fluid.
Just follow these directions:
-Mix a gallon of water with 1 tablespoon of dish washing liquid and a 1/2 cup of vinegar. 


(OPTIONAL: Add a few drops of blue food coloring so you remember what the mixture is for, or label it: Windshield Wiper Fluid).


3. Use a cotton swab (dipped in rubbing alcohol) to clean the vents in your car. This helps to minimize odors once you start using your air conditioner again!



4. Use a wet dryer sheet to clean bugs off of the car's hood, grill and headlights. They stick right to the fabric!


NOTE: The actual brand of the dryer sheet DOES NOT matter. Any one will do, but, if you have a preference, that is fine, too.


5. Scrub your car seats with this homemade Upholstery Cleaner (Courtesy of UpholsteryCleaners101.com).
 All you need is:
-1/4 cup of white viengar
-3/4 cup of warm water
-1/2 tablespoon of dish liquid soap (NOT laundry detergent! It will make too many bubbles)

Mix the ingredients together in a plastic spray bottle. There. That was easy, right?
