Keeping the inside of your car looking good
is just as important as keeping the outside looking good. If you want to resell
your car at some point, the shape of the interior can influence how much it
will bring. The SeatFixer specializes in car upholstery repair in Orono and the
surrounding areas. We want to share a few tips on how to keep your car
upholstery looking its best.
If possible, try to avoid eating and
drinking while in your car. Sometimes, it's unavoidable. But if you can keep
yourself and others from possibly spilling something on your car seats, you
might be able to avoid car upholstery repair like professional stain removal.
During the winter months or during months
when it's particularly muddy outside, knock your shoes free of snow and mud
before you get into your car. If you wanted, you could even keep a spare pair
of clean shoes in your car so you don't track mud and dirt onto your car's
floor or seats. Just make sure those shoes are comfortable and safe to drive
in.
When you spill something in your car, take
the time to clean it up. Use the same type of spot removal techniques on your
car seats that you would use on carpeting in your home. If you use a stain
removal product, make sure to test it in a small and inconspicuous area before
you use it anywhere else. Be sure to blot the spill up with a white cloth and
make sure you avoid rubbing or scrubbing the spill.
Make it a point to clean the inside and
outside of your car on a regular basis. Even if you can only get to it once a
month, that is better than never at all! When cleaning your car's interior, be
careful when you spray any cleaning products, and be sure to test cleaning
products before you use them to make sure they do not bleach any part of your
car's interior or cause any problems. In addition, make sure you do not use any
cleaners, appearance enhancers or conditioners that are silicone-based on your
car's interior. If you use anything silicone-based, it could damage your car’s
upholstery.
