Wherever children go, a sticky mess is sure to follow! However, there’s almost always a way to clean up after them!
You can clean your plastic car interior by following these simple steps:
  • Vacuum everywhere inside of the vehicle, so you start with a clean slate. Don’t forget to remove and shake out your floor mats.
  • Dust the dashboard a damp cloth. You can also use a soft brush and Q-tips to get into tight corners.
  • Treat the stains and sticky spots with mild soap or auto cleaner. Always test your cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area before washing the whole dashboard and interior.
  • Apply a protectant and polish once cleaning is complete. Both will help keep your car in top shape and prevent future stains.
