Clean your car like a pro

We give tips on how to clean your car like a professional, focusing on doing so in an environmentally friendly way while also making the car look like new. 

How do you clean the inside of a car?

You can clean your car best by first removing rubbish, vacuuming thoroughly, and then cleaning the rubber mats, seals, and interior with a mild, superfatting soap. This gives you a clean, fresh car without harsh chemicals, gentle both for you and the environment.

Here's how!

1. Declutter and organize
Remove all rubbish and unnecessary items. Sort paper, plastic, and other materials for recycling. Store loose objects securely—nothing should roll around while you drive.

2. Vacuum the car interior
Start with the mats, then remove them from the car. Continue vacuuming the entire car: seats, floor, compartments, and trunk.

3. Wash the rubber mats and seals
Use lukewarm water and a superfatting soap, such as Västerbottenssåpa, to clean mats and door seals. They regain their shine and look like new. Rinse and let dry.

4. Wipe down the interior
Use a lightly dampened cloth with a little soap to gently clean plastic and fabric surfaces. Avoid getting the interior too wet.

ADVANCED – for the cleaning enthusiast

1. Make sure to keep waste/trash bags in the car so you do not have to store rubbish on the floor or in the door pockets.
2. Always keep a pack of babsavetter in the car. Then you are prepared for anything that may happen …. and can wipe off both things and your own and other people's hands in the event of, for example, ice cream incidents 😉
