Looking to clean out that automobile, without filling it with harmful chemicals? Keeping your vehicle clean can increase resale value. You know LCM Used Car Center, located in East Petersburg, PA, has a wide range of green vehicles, and we love the environment, not only because it's the trendy thing to do.
While using green cleaners to keep your car looking it's best is helpful, many top manufacturers are going the extra mile. Even Mazda interiors are going eco-friendly, that auto maker is making seats and floor mats are made from plant-based fibers. "This is important because the average American spends 400 hours or more a year here while commuting and running daily errands," according to1.
We don't want you breathing in harsh products that could cause long term issues, so here are some of the better ways to clean that ride:
Avoid using any type of chemical, even ones that are considered "safe" for the environment. Regular dusting or vacuuming of your car's dash, seats, floors, and vents should keep debris to a minimum.
Use cotton swabs to get those hard to reach areas. Utilizing a water and vinegar or rubbing alcohol mixture will work just as well as most chemical-filled cleaners.
If you must use cleansers, Eco Touch has a full range of car products - including tire wax and dashboard cleaners. These products are typically available at Whole Foods or Target.
Replace your interior air filter regularly. Pollen, dust, mold, and other toxins enter the vehicle every time you drive. Air inside your car can be up to six times dirtier then outside, and clogged filters become imbedded with fumes. Clean and replace these every few months.
