7 Spots in Your Car You Probably Forgot to Clean
·5 min read
If you're like most drivers, you clean the dashboard, wipe the steering wheel, and call it done. But there are spots in every car that collect dust, crumbs, and grime — spots most people never think about.
The slot where the buckle clicks in is a dust magnet. Press a small piece of cleaning gel into the slot and pull it out. You'll be surprised what comes with it.
The narrow gaps between vent blades are almost impossible to reach with a cloth. Gel presses right in and pulls out the dust that blows into your face every time you turn on the air.
That thin gap between the cup holder and the console? Crumbs love it. Gel gets in there.
Move your seat all the way forward. See that track? Yeah. Clean it.
The inside of the door handle — where your fingers grip — collects skin oils and dust. A quick press with gel cleans it without scratching the plastic.
The tiny gaps around volume and cruise control buttons collect dust that's hard to remove without disassembling anything. Gel fits right in.
If you have a leather or synthetic shift boot, the seam where it meets the console collects dust. Gel pulls it out cleanly.
All seven spots take about 10 minutes with a single bag of ALLGUO cleaning gel. Do it once a month and your car interior will look — and smell — noticeably cleaner.
