Are you tired of dealing with sticky residue, pet hair, dust, dirt, pebbles, and everything else inside your vehicle? We believe that the interior of your vehicle is more than just the place you sit when you’re driving – it’s a reflection of the pride you take in your vehicle. Here are some helpful tips for maintaining your Mazda‘s interior brought to you by Thelen Mazda in Bay City, Michigan.
How to Protect Your Mazda’s Interior
Cover Your Seats – By covering as much surface area as possible inside of your Mazda, you won’t need to deal with constant clean-up. This is especially important for your leather seats! Invest in high-quality seat covers to avoid cracking or damaging leather, especially for seats with young children and pets. They will also protect your seats from spills and staining!
Block The Sunlight – The UV rays from the sun can be especially damaging to your interior. Cracking and discoloration are two of the biggest signs you aren’t protecting your interior from the sun! Avoid this by parking in the shade (or a garage), using a windshield sun shade, or by tinting your windows.
Take Out the Trash – Be proactive about taking your garbage out. If you leave your greasy take-out bags inside your vehicle, you’re not only building up a smell but you will also potentially have more stains to take care of. The best way to avoid trash building up is by taking it out when you get home! Or, each week when you put your home’s trash out for collection, take a moment to clean out your vehicle too.
Use Air Fresheners – You can keep your vehicle’s interior smelling great with the use of air fresheners. Create a refreshing environment in your cabin with a hanging air freshener, or by spraying your car’s interior at the end of the day.
Maintain a No-Smoking Policy – It is well known that cigarette smoke creates odor and staining. Smoke particles can damage your upholstery and your dashboard. Enact a no-smoking policy for all passengers in your Mazda.
Vacuum Debris and Dirt – When you regularly vacuum your vehicle’s interior, you are on top of expelling dirt, pollens, and even bacteria. Not only can these cause an odor, but also illness. Put aside some time over the weekend to vacuum your vehicle’s interior!
