As taxing as cleaning one’s car is, it is inevitable. No one likes driving around in a garbage can on wheels for sure! It doesn’t make a good image either on your fellow passengers. But getting your car professionally cleaned can cost you a pretty penny. So we’ve compiled a nifty list of cleaning hacks that will leave every inch of your car sparkling!

It’s always better when a car’s hubcaps are sparkling. But getting those rims clean is no easy feat, and maintaining them more so. But there’s an easy way to restore them to their former glory. Just by mixing together some bleach powder and Lysol, and rubbing the concoction onto the rims with a rag, will give them their original sparkle back.

Cleaning the air vents is a necessity for both hygiene purposes and preventing potential dust allergy attack. The slim and narrow vents can be tough to clean with just a rag. But an easier, and more efficient way to do so is by cleaning it with a sponge brush! The conveniently shaped flat brush can be slid in between the slats and get to those pesky corners.

Toothbrush & Toothbrush

For the neat freaks who need a detailed cleaning of every inch of their car, a toothbrush is their best friend. One doesn’t necessarily need a kit of fancy tools to combat the dusty nooks and crannies, the humble toothbrush will suffice. In the same way, the bristles clean out our teeth, it will also dislodge the dust from the hard-to-get- corners, which can then be wiped away with a rag.

Headlights have a tendency to get fogged up over an extended period of time, which can only be fixed by taking it to the repair shop, easily costing us almost $1,000. But not if you know this nifty hack! Just by rubbing some toothpaste ( especially a whitening one) on the lens. A simple scrub, rinse, and dry can do wonders for your distressed headlights!
