Whether you’re an animal lover or have friends and family members that are, this hack will surely come in handy. You don’t want to be the one to refuse a ride to our furry friends, but you also don’t want pet hair all over your car seats. And usually, pet hair finds a way to get everywhere. The best solution for this is to put on a rubber glove, like the ones you would usually use for washing dishes or cleaning the house and wipe it over your car’s upholstery.
The gloves will pick up every last hair and leave your car looking brand new.
Keep it Fresh
If you wish to keep your vehicle’s upholstery speckless and moisturized, make sure you regularly wipe down your leather seats with a solution of linseed oil and vinegar.
This should keep your seats looking as good as new!
Dryer Sheets Help Keep a Fresh Aroma
Use those extra dryer sheets around various strategic locations in your car to keep that good aroma. These sheets should continue to emit fragrance for 1 to 3 months, varying by the climate.
Just allow it to sit on your cloth upholstery and mats before blotting it with a dampened rag. The stain should be gone in no time.
Protecting Vinyl Surfaces
If you don’t take good care of your vinyl upholstery and hard surfaces in your vehicle, they can be easily open to cracking.
In order to avoid this and keep them shiny and safe, just use a mix in a solution of olive oil and lemon juice. Afterward, you can gently massage the surface with a dampened cloth.
Car Air Perfume with Essential Oils
Instead of shelling out all that cash on those pricey car fresheners, just grab any essential oil and place a few drops on a clothespin or sachet in the vent and voila!
You have your own little homemade air freshener! We bet you didn’t think these simple things could be so handy, right?
