Nothing looks better than your nice, sparkling clean car sitting in your driveway. When it’s time for your vehicle’s annual clean-up, take a moment to consider the planet. You can protect the planet and make your car shine at the same time. Our Toyota dealer in New Jersey is here with some tips and tricks to help.
New Jersey Drivers Protect The Environment
Here’s how you can keep your car – and the planet – in tip-top shape:
Use Natural Cleaners
There are several car cleaners that, unfortunately, are made up of toxic chemicals. Instead of using these harmful products on your vehicle, you can make your own natural alternatives with products around your home. Mixing half a box of baking soda in a bucket of water should give you the perfect cleanser for your vehicle. For window cleaner, mix half a cup of white vinegar and two cups of water in a spray bottle.
Conserve Water
A single bucket of water that can be refilled will clean your car just as well as a hose, and will conserve water while doing so. When you utilize the bucket method, you’ll be saving up to 100 gallons of water every time you wash your car. If you need to use the hose, attaching a nozzle will use less water.
Upkeep Your Interior With Olive Oil
Using a few drops of olive oil on your interior will protect it from being damaged. Rubbing olive oil into your dashboard and other interior plastics will keep them supple. Use linseed oil on leather seats to naturally clean and protect the material. If you find yourself in need of replacement plastics or other interior materials, you can easily order parts with our simple online form.
Get That New Car Smell
Upkeep that new car smell with baking soda! As a natural carpet deodorizer, baking soda is able to give your mats that fresh clean scent. If you want your car to smell even better, you can place organic dryer sheets under the seats. A dab of your favorite essential oil, when heated, can have your car smelling great.
