Back to School Car Cleaning Tips for Parents and Commuters
Fall’s not just about pumpkin spice—it's carpool chaos, cluttered backseats, and fast food wrappers under the seats. Here’s how to give your interior a reset before the school year kicks into gear.
1. Start with a Trash Sweep
Empty out backpacks, wrappers, bottles, and anything else that piled up during summer. Move the front seats all the way forward and back to grab hidden junk underneath.
2. Clean All Interior Surfaces
Once the clutter is gone, wipe everything down with a cleaner that’s safe for every surface inside the car:
- Complete Cabin Cleaner – Safe on leather, vinyl, rubber, screens, trim, and more. Leaves no streaks and a matte OEM finish.
3. Use the Right Towels
Interior plastic and screens can scratch easily. Use soft, edgeless microfiber for every wipe-down:
- Softer Than Soft Towels – Safe on glossy trim, touchscreens, and delicate materials.
4. Freshen the Air
Back-to-school means more people in the car—and more odors. Use a non-overpowering air freshener that actually eliminates smells instead of masking them:
- Jimbo’s Air Freshies – Long-lasting, clean citrus scent with odor-eliminating power.
5. Don’t Forget the Mats
Fall rain and muddy shoes are coming. Clean your all-weather mats now and re-dress them with a non-greasy finish:
- The Super Soaper – Great for foaming mats and carpets.
- All Dressed Up – Leaves a dry-to-the-touch, OEM-style finish.
