Cleaning the Car Dashboard: Materials & Steps

Start by gathering the items you’ll need to thoroughly clean your car’s dashboard, including:

• Vacuum with a brush attachment
• Clean microfiber cloth
• Water and soap mixture
• Soft paintbrush
• Polish

Once you have all of the above materials, follow these steps to get your car’s dashboard looking its best:

• Use the vacuum with the brush attachment to vacuum up any dust and debris from the dashboard, so you have a clean surface.
• Take your microfiber cloth and dip it in the water and soap mixture. Use the cloth to wipe the dashboard, as well as the steering wheel, shift knob, handbrake, and other hard surfaces inside your vehicle.
• Cleaning small crevices, such as air vents, can be tricky and you’ll need something other than a cloth. You can use a soft paintbrush to clean your air vents and other parts of your car’s interior that are too delicate for hard-bristle brushes.
• After you’ve cleaned your dashboard, it’s time to add some shine! Put a small amount of polish on a clean cloth and rub it over the surface of the dash and center console. Go over the polished surfaces with a dry cloth to remove any excess.
• Add a homemade car air freshener for a finishing touch! Later, you can also use dryer sheets to wipe down your dash and keep it fresh and clean.

And that’s all there is to it! If you have any questions or want more tips on how to clean dashboard surfaces and crevices effectively, Greenshieldmania can help!
