Cleaning Tip: Easy Car Care for Residents of Gainesville, Florida Apartments

Car owners, take a little time to freshen up your ride. Don’t let your automobile get the short end of the stick. Gather your bucket full of cleaning supplies out of your Gainesville apartment and give your cars a little TLC:

• Always wash and wax your vehicle in the shade.
• When vacuuming the interior, it may help to “blow-out” hard to reach areas with your vacuum outlet, and then vacuum up the debris from there.
• Clean all windows with glass cleaner and paper towels. Clean windows are essential to your car’s appearance and your ability to drive safely.
• A paintbrush and old toothbrush are a car detailer’s best friends. Use them to loosen dust and grime from all those cracks and crevices while you vacuum.
• Don’t forget to wash the dirtiest parts of your car—the steering wheel, shifter, seatbelts, and interior door handles. Diluted, mild laundry soap often works well in these areas.
• To get dead bugs—including love bugs—off your car’s paint, wet down some dryer sheets and use them to wipe the mess away.

While you’re getting your car in tip-top shape, remember to follow proper parking etiquette in the parking lot of your Gainesville apartment community. Be careful not to park too close to other cars and only park in appropriately marked spaces.
