Shake the can well before use.

Spray the HG car dashboard cleaner thinly and evenly onto the surface to be treated. Keep the can upright and approximately 20cm away from the dashboard.

Do not let the spray dry, but polish immediately with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.

For places that are difficult to reach, first spray the cockpit spray onto a cloth and clean the surface.

The result is a shiny car interior.

Deep clean the car interior: action plan

car interior cleaning

When you clean the inside of your car it is recommended to stick to a sequence. It means you don’t have to do the same job twice and it stops you from forgetting to do others.

1. Tidy up the car

First tidy up all the mess before you start cleaning your car interior. Empty packs, pieces of paper and other mess you can pick up and throw in the bin.

2. Dashboard and central console 

Everything tidy? Start cleaning your car by cleaning the dashboard and the central console. They are often covered in greasy finger marks. With HG car dashboard cleaner this is quickly clean and the dashboard will sparkle again. Still some dirt there? Don't worry, we deal with that shortly.

3. Clean the windows on the inside

You need to clean the inside of the windows and the windscreen too. The air circulation will put dirt on the inside of the windows and the windscreen. It also gets greasy finger prints and dust. It reduces your visibility, particularly on a sunny day. In other words, cleaning the inside of the car involves cleaning the windows. We have HG car windscreen cleaner for that little job. Or check out our tips for cleaning windscreens.

4. Car upholstery cleaning

The upholstery suffers most. We have HG car upholstery cleaner. Or take a look at our tips for cleaning fabric car upholstery. For leather seats, we have HG deep cleaner for leather.

5. Shake out the mats

Now the top of the interior is clean, it's time to shake and beat the mats. That will deal with the larger bits of dirt.

6. Vacuum cleaning

Having cleaned the rest of the interior, it is a good idea to vacuum clean. That deals with the last crumbs and the inside of your car is clean again.
