Keep Your Car Clean: With Kids

Keeping your car clean is easy but maintaining the cleanliness with your children is clearly a difficult task to do. You will need a lot of effort to do it with kids around. Most of the time, you come and sit in the car and see behind. You might find plenty of packets of chips, biscuits, and different kinds of snacks that turn your vehicle into a hot mess quickly. Also, if you are a frequent traveler and make daily trips around the town, keeping your car in good condition and your messy kids is an even bigger hassle. We are sharing some tips and tricks which will help you by saving your vehicle clean in the presence of your kids.

Set the rules

First of all, if your kids are messing up your car, set the rules for them and tell them to follow these rules in case of visiting anywhere in the vehicle. If the rules are not followed, your children will not be allowed to sit in the car. This might help you to keep your car clean even in the presence of your children.

No Food in Car

A simple and easy way to avoid mess inside your car is to ban eating the food or even carrying it in the car. This will likely be the only technique that will be useful to clean your vehicle. It significantly reduces the food spilling, which is probably hidden inside the seats by your naughty kids. This method will only be effective if you are traveling on a short trip. For longer trips, try eating less snacks, which doesn’t create a mess.

Use the bath rug as your car’s floor mat.

Looking at your car, the car floor must be the most damaged and messy place, which worsens the car’s condition from dirty shoes or spilled food or drinks. Everything first comes on the floor, so better clean the floor. If you have extra rugs at your place, try to place them under your car seats. This will help you clean the car and protect your vehicle from clutter as you can easily remove it to wash out the rug and clean it after the mess.

Use the trash bag and seat cover in the car.

Sometimes you cannot control the mess in the car but merely focus on covering the things that can easily clean up and take less time. One of the easiest ways to control the clutter around your vehicle is placing the trash bag behind your seat’s back or front on both sides. Other than that, you also need to cover your seats adequately to save your seats from the dirt, especially if you have light colored seat covers which quickly catch dirt. To avoid the ground, which can cause your real car damage, try to put lids on them.

These tips will help you to keep your car clean in the presence of your children from the inside as well. Moreover, if you want to know about cleaning the interior of the vehicle, we will also discuss deep cleaning with the help of some tools.

Interior clean up

By cleaning the interior of your car, you will feel like having a brand new car again. You wouldn’t even think that the car is dirty at the moment. So do not worry if your vehicle gets messy and dirty from the inside; it happens to everyone, and we are here to tell you every detail to clean it.

We are here to tell you the essential things you need to do to take care of your car’s interior with less amount.

Identify What You’re Going To Clean

Before talking about tool cleaning, first of all, identify the problem in your interior and find the part which needs to be repaired. Take that specific thing out and then start the process. Pick up the material from the car and then clean individually to every part.

Make sure to clean the whole thing one by one, like cleaning the dashboard, seats, or door panel. You will also get car detailing for your interior, and you can buy them from sumptuous detailing. This will help you in buying the stuff, and which approach of cleaning you like to take. If it’s been a long time and you still need to clean the car properly, go for overall interior cleaning. It is best to take care of your car this deeply. Otherwise, you should only need to clean the part you want to clean, like the seat, carpet, or dashboard.

The Tools and Products

You only need to buy so many products and tools to clean your interior thoroughly. You will only need these tools a couple of times a year or twice a year if you really feel the dirt in your car. By using these tools, you can take your vehicle to the car wash less often.

So, we will only tell you the products and tools you need at this time, and we will only tell you some of the options you will also find in the market. Also, if you are planning to start your car detailing business, you can rely on our blog, which will also benefit you in the future. The main products that you need to use are as follows.

 Brush

Towel to clean

Cleaner of all-purpose

Towel used for glass

Waterless wash

These are the only things which you need to clean your car. Moreover, if you find anything technical, you can get the stuff from car detailing; otherwise, these are enough for deep cleaning.

While the things mentioned earlier are more than enough for you to take care of the car, cleaning the whole car will take 5-7 hours to wash correctly. Otherwise, it all depends on the depth of the cleaning. If you do it by light hand, this will take a minimum of 3-5 hours.

We are extremely well satisfied with the work done by Darren on our two cars; an eleven year old Audi and an eleven year old Lexus. The cars look almost new. Darren showed up on time, did the work efficiently and thoroughly, and the price was very competitive. We will definitely use his service again.

Darren did a great job on my pickup truck I use for construction. I was surprised how clean he got it inside.

Tyrone came out today and detailed my dad’s Tesla model X for us. Let me tell you - that man is so incredibly positive. You just feel good talking to him. He spent a large amount of time detailing his car and it looks better than it did the day he bought it! We could not be more thrilled and will continue to use Tyrone every month to detail and keep it looking great! The pricing is extremely competitive and even on the lower end compared to other mobile retailers! We are extremely pleased all the way around!

If I could put 10000+ Stars I would. Words can't explain how satisfied, I am. Tyrone did a phenomenal job, he took his time and you can tell he loves what he does. My car looks brand new, the seats are so clean and when I opened my car the smell of brand new car hit me. If you are looking for someone to detail your car STOP LOOKING, Because you found them and the customer service is excellent! I highly strongly recommend them you will not be disappointed!

02/08/24 We are not local to this area, visiting with our son. Three large cups of coffee were accidentally split in our vehicle this morning... What a mess! Found some one online who didn't do interior detailing, however recommended Darren. He made arrangements to clean our truck that day. His men were here at scheduled time, did a fantastic job! Highly recommend Sumptuous Mobile Detailing!

Amazing and meticulous! Darren did such a great job with my vehicle that his services were requested the very next day by my hubby. My vehicle is so clean that I’m afraid to get in and undo all of his hard work. Most importantly, he took his time and didn’t rush the job.
