Before we talk in detail about how to clean small crevices in car. First, let me wrap you up with some situations:
Sometimes, you have spilled food or something over the buttons. And some of them stick. Nothing is nastier than a sticky steering wheel, right?
Or when techs don’t use clean gloves inside the car. Maybe they are trying their best to keep their clothes or boots from touching things. But, you know, the feeling is not good.
“No matter how meticulous I try to be with my car interior, I’ve always battling against dust on the dashboard and the console. I don’t eat in my car, I don’t allow pets, and I’m always clean and well dressed when I’m in it.”
Is that your situation?
First, we called it dust. But there are not only dust. “Dust” here is all kinds of things. It can be a pollen, dirt, bits of plastic. Sometimes, a relatively small fraction is dead skin cells is out in the air. You can’t totally exclude dust. Because a lot of it comes from outside. But, some of dust comes from daily activities inside.
These tiny particles are much lighter than you think. That’s why it’s flying as soon as you open the doors.
We can identify 3 common sources of dust:
Yes, for sure. These tiny particles stick to car interior display, dashboard and consoles.
Dust particles enter your car through various means, including the air, your clothing, and environmental pollutants. Once inside, they settle on surfaces due to static electricity and general air circulation. A quick wipe off here and there can cause static charge that result in dust accumulation.
Especially some areas like the cup holder cover tray, touch screen, etc…
We recommend using anti-static agent to keep dust and lint off. This way will save you a ton of time. Or you will be frustrating as heck.
Next, have a look at all floor mats. It’s not easy to vacuum between car seats thoroughly during a car wash.
FACT: A 90 minute commercial car wash vacuum is not enough time to get the job done. Detailers need car wash vacuum crevice tool attachment to remove dust particles under your floor mats, too.
The cabin air filter reduces dust entering the HVAC system. Depending on driving conditions, you need to replace the filter every 15,000-30,000 miles. Because outside dust will build up on this air filter.
FACT: Cabin air filter is often in engine bay. It’s not the air filter under your dashboard.
Next, using the air-recirculation function instead of drawing air from the outside will give you a fresher air. This feature prevents external air from entering and recirculates the existing air inside your vehicle. And it’s reducing dust intake.
When warm, moist air from outside meets the cold surfaces inside the car, condensation can form. And high moisture inside a car can lead to condensation and potentially mold.
The condensed moisture forms into hundreds of tiny droplets of water. These tiny water will accumulate dirt and dust particles into crevices and small cracks.
Sometime, door and window seals are not in good conditions. Damaged seals can allow dust to infiltrate your vehicle’s interior more often.
Yes, we hate to say that. But we used to have this problem long time ago. A silicon-based dressing applied to interior after a deep clean. That could be your problem.
That’s why we only trust non toxic interior car cleaning products.
Long-term dust management involves establishing a consistent cleaning routine and using protective measures.
First, select a professional interior detailing services rather than express car wash with free vacuum. This intensive service can provide a thorough cleaning and dust removal. Professional detailers also pay more attention to vacuum between car seats.
Next, immediately removing all unused stuff from your interior. This routine is quick, but many people often forget it. The longer they stay in car interior, the more laborious cleaning you need.
If you have plenty of time, or you are not satisfy with these above suggestions on how to clean car dust inside your car. It’s time for a professional car detailing services.
We know there are many ways to stop dust accumulating in car detailing. Some are simple, others are complicated. However, we will follow these Step-by-Step as follows:
What? Are we talking about how to get dirt out of crevices in car? And you’re talking about washing a car first? Vacuum or wash car first?
Sure, we are getting the job done properly. But why?
Let’s be realistic. How to get rid of dust in your car before washing exterior? We often seen exterior dust come into interior after cleaning. That’s why we installed sprinkler systems to reduce inhalable dust. And, this system leverages air exchange to remove enclosed spaces of particulate matter and maintain a dust-free atmosphere, too.
Most interior detailing packages are exclude engine cleaning. But we always have a cleaning a cabin air filter with compressed air. Although it is not the best way compare to replacing with a new one. It does help. And we can recommend you changing the new one when need.
Take out the floor mats to clean outside. Because we have a larger space with the right lighting system to have a deep clean both side of these mats.
Often, shaking them out to dislodge dirt and food particles can make these dirt coming again into interior.
Finally, our detailers will vacuum, wash and dry them, before placing them back in your car.
Cleaning crevices inside interior of a car with compressed air is an effective way to remove dust and debris from hard-to-reach areas. After taking out all personal belongings from the interior, including floor mats, trash, and any other removable items, we have a thorough precise airflow.
We use this 10″ angled blower for in between seats and under compartments. We prefer to blow away the loose debris, dirt, and grime before cleaning.
Try vacuuming everything thoroughly, including the seats, carpet and headliner. Move the vacuum slowly to make sure its pulling everything. Then dust from top to bottom, use a soft brush and hold your vacuum very close to the area you’re dusting. Instead of the particles floating around, they’ll be sucked into the vacuum.
FACT: Use dusting brushes to to get the crumbs out is better than traditional detailing brushes.
We suggest short term or long term protection for your interior. And to prevent dust build up on crevices and small cracks. It depends on your time and the way you use your car.
