The importance of using fabric cleaner

Some people think car upholstery only means the car seats, but nothing could be further from the truth. Your car's upholstery also includes the floor mats, the headliner, the carpet covering the floor and of course the boot lining. All these parts collect more dirt than you think or can see, which is why it's important to clean them regularly with a good interior cleaner. A fabric cleaner thoroughly removes dirt from the material and helps keep your car looking good for longer.

You can also experience unpleasant odours from pets, spilled food like coffee or milk, or accidents in the car – think of vomit or other sour smells. For this, there are special odor removers that don't just mask these smells but actually eliminate them. This keeps your interior fresh and maintains your car's value. A clean interior simply impresses potential buyers.

A cleaner for every material

Different types of upholstery require different types of cleaning. Fabric upholstery has different properties to leather. Fabric absorbs liquids quickly, causing stains to penetrate deeply. Leather is more susceptible to drying out and cracking. The right fabric cleaner takes this into account and cleans without causing damage. You prevent discolouration, wear and unpleasant odours by regularly using a cleaner.

Using fabric cleaner

A fabric cleaner is simple to use. Here's how:

1. Before you start applying the fabric cleaner, it's important to thoroughly vacuum the car. This removes crumbs, sand and other dust.
2. Then spray the cleaner directly onto the upholstery or apply it with a soft interior brush. Pay close attention to the instructions on the packaging. Some cleaners are concentrated and need to be diluted with water, others you use neat. Always test the fabric cleaner for your car first on an inconspicuous spot. This way you know for sure that the material won't show discolouration after use.
3. Let the cleaner soak in so the dirt loosens. Work it in with circular movements and gently brush away stains.
4. Use a microfibre cloth to remove excess product. For stubborn stains, repeat the process with your cleaner. Note: don't use too much product, as this leaves residue behind.
5. Let the upholstery dry properly before getting back in the car. Open the doors or use a fan for faster results.
