spring cleaning checklist for the car Racine WI
If you are anything like most people, climbing out of the wintery months of freezing cold temperatures and horrible road conditions seems like an uphill battle. A great way to greet the spring weather is to clean up your car and get it shiny and new looking again. We’ll give you our spring cleaning checklist for the car Racine WI. Trust us, it’s worth doing!
Spring is almost here, so we want to help you get ready to enjoy summer without driving around in a sad wintery car. Here’s the list of things to clean:
-
First, take out the trash. It’s bound to have built up, and that is always the best place to start when you are cleaning out a car.
-
Next, vacuum the inside from top to bottom. Pull out your dirty floor mats and make sure to vacuum in all the nooks and crannies!
-
Grab some automotive carpet cleaner and scrub things up. Start with the floor and work your way up over the seats. This step might not be mandatory, but it sure does make a difference!
-
Wash those grubby floor mats. After all the salt and mud has built up and they will last much longer if you get them cleaned up every once in a while.
-
Change out your windshield wipers. This is important if they aren’t doing their job. Getting stuck in a summer rainstorm with bad wipers is a recipe for disaster and dangerous driving.
-
Lube up your hinges. This means doors and the trunk hinges. This way they won’t squeak and will wear out less quickly.
-
Clean the windows. Grab your Windex and get to work. This will make driving in the muggy spring and summer weather much easier.
-
Wash the outside of the car. You want to go from top to bottom, as salt has built up from the roads. Also try to really flush out the underbody. Road salt is not supposed to hang out there.
-
Don’t forget your usual maintenance! Getting your oil changed and putting on tires with enough tread are two important things to do regularly. Getting the fuel system cleaned and adding washer fluid are also great ways to make sure you are all set for spring weather!
