How to easily clean your car's trunk from dirt and debris

Having a clean car trunk is very important in winter. You can fit a sled in it if you're going for a country walk, transport firewood to the summer house, or use it in many other useful ways, including the usual large purchases.

But not everyone is ready to even look into the luggage compartment, where garbage and junk can accumulate for months, if not years. OBOZREVATEL offers step-by-step instructions on how to clean the trunk and keep it tidy.

Get rid of the trash

The first step to tidiness is, of course, cleaning up the mess. Remove all bulky items from the trunk, sweep out the trash and vacuum all corners, even the hard-to-reach ones. Take out all the rugs - shake them out and wash them. While they are drying, wet clean the compartment and brush the upholstery. When the mats are dry, put them back in place and put in the trunk only what you really need on the road - a spare tire, brake light, tools, etc. Repeat this cleaning once a week and the mess will never return.

Clean stains and remove odors

Since the trunk is often dirty, the upholstery gets stained too. To remove marks, it is best to use special products as spray, foam, or brush. Apply it to the stain, wait for the time specified in the instructions and vacuum the textiles.

As a rule, after wet cleaning and stain removal, the unpleasant odor disappears on its own. If you still can't get rid of the stench, try washing the compartment again with a baking soda or vinegar solution - they are great at removing odors. As a last resort, you can splurge on dry cleaning, namley buy a special product or order the relevant service at a car wash.
