How to clean car seats: fabric, leather and baby seats
Each one needs a completely different method, and using the wrong one is how good seats get ruined.
Here's how to clean all three 🧵 #CarDetailing
How to clean a baby car seat:
1) Take it out and vacuum underneath. Crumbs and spilt milk collect in the gap behind it
2) Check the manual before you wash the cover
3) Spot clean the harness straps only, with a cloth, lukewarm water and mild soap
Is it better to hand wash your car or go to a car wash?
A proper two-bucket hand wash is best. A touchless car wash is a decent top-up in between.
Avoid brush washes. Those spinning strips carry grit from every car before yours onto your paint. #CarCare
What does car detailing actually involve?
It goes well beyond a wash. A proper detail includes:
• Chemical decontamination
• Machine polishing to remove scratches in the clear coat
• A sealant or ceramic coating to lock in that showroom finish
#CarDetailing
That level of work takes specialist products and gear, so it's worth getting a pro. Post a task on Airtasker and get quotes from local car detailers.

How to get rid of bad smells in your car
For lingering odours or stains from food, milk or pets, use an enzyme cleaner. It breaks down whatever's causing the smell instead of masking it.
Spray it on, let it sit a few minutes, scrub gently, then blot dry. #CarDetailing
How often should you detail your car?
Give the interior a deep detail every 4-6 months. It protects your resale value and keeps seats, carpets and trim in good shape.
In between, a 10-minute vacuum and dust once a week stops dirt from getting ground in for good.
