Green Cleaning Your Car

Regularly cleaning your vehicle is necessary to prevent contaminants from damaging your paint and finish, as well as to maintain the car’s resale or trade-in value. When protecting your car’s condition, have you ever considered protecting the planet as well? Driver’s Way in Pelham has four tips for green cleaning your car!

1. Pelham Drivers Can Clean Naturally

Instead of using toxic chemical cleaners when washing your car’s exterior, you can make your own natural alternative with half a box of baking soda and a bucket of water. To clean your windows, mix half a cup of white vinegar with two cups of water in a spray bottle.

2. Conserve Water

Forget about the hose. Using a bucket of water to rinse off your car can save up to 100 gallons of water every time you clean it. However, if you can’t give up the hose, attach a nozzle to it to waste less water.

3. Deodorize

For the interior, consider using baking soda as a natural carpet deodorizer. You can also put organic dryer sheets under the seats. To enhance your car’s scent even more, apply a little of your favorite essential oil in the corners of your dashboard.

4. Protect

Did you know that you could help protect your interior with just a few drops of olive oil? Rub a small amount on your dashboard and other interior plastics to keep them supple. If you have leather seats, use linseed oil as a natural cleaner and protectant.
