5 Ways To Care For Your Car Interiors – How Auto Insurance Can Make A Difference

​Taking care of your auto interiors is as essential as yearly maintenance. When overlooked, many things can get out of hand. For example, dust and grime can settle inside the car's air conditioning unit. Or cakes of mud can penetrate deep into carpet fibers.

A messy and smelly car interior can harm your physical and mental health. The following simple tips can help you care for your car's interior with easy techniques. 

Place A Small Trash Bin Inside Your Car
Just like keeping your home or room clean and tidy, place a small trash bin inside your car. Place dry trash inside and double-bag wet or smelly ones. Remove the bag every day, just before you park your car home. If you're driving a family van or SUV, place a bin at the front and another one at the back.

Vacuum Before Detailing
Vacuum, remove all dirt, dust, and litter from your carpets, seats and doors. Do this before you detail your interiors. Remove the mat and vacuum it as well. Use a crevice tool to remove all the dirt and dust between seats, underneath the seat and in the driver's area. Detail using correct cleaning and detailing products.

Use Correct Interior Cleaning Products
Car interiors are made from different materials. You may have plastic, leather, glass, etc.

When buying cleaning products, read the instructions well. Make sure that it works with your car material. Use the right cleaning tool. Some tools like microfiber cloths will work with all types of surfaces. But some will need a special fabric or cloth material. 

Go For Professional Cleaning for AC Systems
Your car's AC system is one of the hardest components to clean. It's best to leave this to experts. Remember, you need to have your car's AC purged at least twice or thrice a year. Some garages include car AC cleaning with car interior. But it's best to check before you visit. 

Find Out Your Insurance Coverage On Customized Interiors 
Customized interiors cost a fortune. Cleaning, detailing, and maintenance add to the overall cost. So ask your auto insurance provider for coverage of your customized setup. Usually, you need to pay on top of your regular premium payments. Then the coverage will protect your expensive interiors from any damage. 

Talk to your auto insurance rep if you want to get coverage. This extra coverage should be one of your priorities. Especially if you have an expensive, high-maintenance car interior.
