Best Interior Cleaning Tips for Winter Months
Winter doesn’t just mess up your paint—it destroys your car’s interior too. Snow, slush, road salt, and muddy shoes turn your cabin into a disaster. Here's how to keep it clean and protected through the coldest months.
1. Use a Safe, All-in-One Interior Cleaner
Forget harsh APCs that dry out trim and leave behind streaks. Use something designed for daily use on all surfaces like Complete Cabin Cleaner.
- Safe on plastic, leather, vinyl, screens, and fabric
- Leaves an OEM matte finish—no shine or grease
- Streak-free even on cold windows
2. Scrub Winter Gunk Off Plastic & Vinyl
Salt and grime settle into textured plastics on door panels and consoles. Pair Complete Cabin Cleaner with a Scrub Buddy Pad to gently remove buildup without scratching.
The scrubbing action helps lift embedded grime while the cleaner dissolves it safely.
3. Don’t Forget the Windows
Fog, film, and salt mist build up fast in winter. Spray Complete Cabin Cleaner directly on a microfiber towel like the Everyday Microfiber and wipe glass clean. It leaves no streaks—even on cold surfaces.
4. Knock Out Odors at the Same Time
Trapped moisture + dirty carpets = funky smells. Clean regularly and consider using a neutral-scented air freshener. Or just let the OEM finish of Complete Cabin Cleaner speak for itself. No perfumes. No fake lemon. Just clean.
5. Protect Interior Trim from Dry Air
Winter heat dries out your dashboard and door panels. To lock in moisture and prevent cracking, dress your trim after cleaning with All Dressed Up. It gives plastic and rubber a rich, matte look without shine or stickiness.
