Even if you ask around some Vancouver Dodge customers, they would definitely agree when I will say that a car is like a second hub to most of us car drivers.  It is also one of the best buddies you can have on the road.

It is the ultimate machine that you can have when you practically do not stay put on one place.  

What do you usually do inside your car?  Almost anything.  Eating, watching films, listening to tracks, sleeping, and even doing make up.  And because the interior of the car is home to basically any activity, the materials inside it is also prone to stains and other accidental damages.  And because sometimes, you really cannot prevent your car from these stains, all you can do is just to know how to clean them up.

A Langley Chrysler customer once complained about getting rid of car stains inside his car when he was consulting some people at the local dodge dealer.  Some fellow buyers got hooked in the conversation and in the end, they have formulated a short guidelines on how to remove common stains from your car interior.

Getting rid of lipstick stains

Whether it is a result of a mishap when you hurried to the office while retouching or just a playful stroke of color of your kid to your car interior,  lipstick stain is one of the most common blotches that can be found inside a car.  If the stain is new, be careful not to spread it and scrape the surface first.  If there are excess lipstick chunks, scraping them first is the most advisable thing to do.

How to scrape? Using a blunt knife, try removing the residue towards the center.  When lipstick leavings are removed, start rubbing it off using a non-gel toothpaste and finish the cleaning job with a damp cloth.


Getting rid of gasoline stains

This kind of liquid stain can give off one off the strongest possible smell inside the car.  To treat this, use a mild detergent and vinegar, combined in equal parts. The detergent is for stain removal while the vinegar is to counter the strong fume given off by gasoline.  If this solution does not work, try using a dry cleaning commercial chemical that is fabric-friendly.

Crayon stains

A Langley Jeep client once committed one mortal sin - leaving her kids with a bunch of crayons inside the car.  In the end, she had to deal with a colorful batch of upholstery stains.  Start with  getting the excess crayon out of the upholstery.  Scrape with a blunt knife and follow the direction as that which is advised in getting rid of lipstick blotches.  Afterwards, apply WD-40, a solution which can be bought from car shops. 

After the fabric has absorbed the chemical solution, get a bristle brush and work your way while cleaning up with a paper tower.  Apply a second spray of WD-40, and then add small amount of mild dish washing liquid.  This time, use a sponge to wipe the upholstery clean.

Liquid

Blot any liquid that is spilled on the car coverings.  This will prevent the spill from ruining a wide part of your upholstery.

To remove liquid stains, you can buy an upholstery cleaner.   Apply it on the blemish and then let it be.  After a few minutes, try to rub off the stain using a tooth brush, followed up by a dry cloth to wipe off the stain.  Continue this until the stain fades away.

On cases of ink spills, immediately blot the stain.  After removing the excess liquid, put enough amount of hairspray that can cover the area of the blemish.  Let the upholstery absorb the solution and then wipe it off with a cloth.

A Vancouver Dodge customer once said that using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol can also be an effective measure.  After rubbing on the stained area, wipe off with cloth and repeat the process until the ink stain is gone.

As what a Langley Chrysler dealer once said, a clean car makes a happy driver.

As a responsible Langley Dodge driver, I care for my car and I will definitely do my best to make my car spic and span.

Getting rid of stains?  Follow the advices we have given you.  Stains may come, but with the proper clean up process, they will go.  Erase your headaches and erase those blotches.
